    Diagnosis and Treatment of Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis
    (2014) Yabanoglu, H.; Aydogan, C.; Karakayali, F.; Moray, G.; Haberal, M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1161-3369; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1547-1297; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1874-947X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2498-7287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; 24817291; AAJ-7865-2021; AAJ-5296-2021; AAB-3888-2021; AAE-1041-2021; AAJ-8097-2021
    BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to review our case load of the treatment and outcomes of patients with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data about 21 patients were reviewed retrospectively to determine age, clinical symptoms and findings, preoperative screening, operative findings, surgical history, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: There were 14 men and 7 women (mean age, 65 +/- 11.3 yr). Preoperative ultrasonography of 17 patients showed a gallbladder stone in 14 patients, adenomyomatosis plus stones in 2 patients, and a polyp in 1 patient. There were 5 patients with acute cholecystitis and 16 patients with chronic cholecystitis. Gallbladder wall thickening was noted in 3 of the 12 patients who had abdominal computed tomography. Frozen section examinations were done in 5 patients. Radical cholecystectomy was done in 1 patient because of suspected carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: It is difficult to diagnose XGC preoperatively or intraoperatively, and the definitive diagnosis depends exclusively on pathologic examination.

    Neuroendocrine Tumour of the Gallbladder Diagnosed after Cholecystectomy
    (2022) Tasci, Halil Ibrahim; Coskunoglu, Esra Zeynep; Turk, Emin; Karagulle, Erdal; 0000-0003-2269-4798; AAJ-2989-2021
    Gallbladder cancer is a rare but aggressive malignancy. Neuroendocrine tumour of the gallbladder make up 2-3% of all the gallbladder tumour. A 67-year female patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of symptomatic cholelithiasis and the histopathology revealed a neuroendocrine tumour of the gallbladder, stage pT2a. The patient's imaging study for metastasis workup were normal. A radical cholecystectomy procedure was planned as the tumour stage was pT2a. Postoperative chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy were recommended. The patient, who had comorbidities, was refused both surgery and other treatment alternatives. The patient's one-year clinical, laboratory, and radiological follow-up did not reveal any findings of recurrence or metastasis. There is no standardised staging system for neuroendocrine tumours of the gallbladder since the number of such cases is quite limited. Guidelines are also insufficient. Multi-centred and large studies are needed in order to develop standardisation in treatment, prognosis, and factors affecting survival.
