Description

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a subtype of cholecystitis first reported by Weismann et al. in 1948. It is a relatively rare disease in which granulomas consisting mainly of histiocytes called xanthoma cells form within the gallbladder wall. In such cases, abnormal uptake is often seen on fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT), and some cases are difficult to differentiate from gallbladder cancer. We report a case of XGC in which abnormal uptake was observed on FDG-PET/CT and gallbladder cancer could not be ruled out by preoperative diagnosis. (author)

Abstract (Japanese)

黄色肉芽腫性胆嚢炎(Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis: XGC)は 1948 年に Weismann らにより最初に報告された胆嚢炎の1亜型で,胆嚢壁内にxanthoma cellと呼ばれる組織球を主体とした肉芽腫を形成する比較的まれな疾患である.FDG-PET/CTで異常集積を認めることが多いとされ,胆嚢癌との鑑別に苦慮する症例も散見される.今回,われわれはFDG-PET/CTで異常集積を認め術前診断で胆嚢癌が否定できなかったXGC症例を経験したので報告する.(著者)
