Obeid AC, Sayida S, Abboud W. A rare presentation of giant gallbladder. Edorium J Surg 2022;9(2):8–11.ABSTRACT
In common practice enlarged gallbladders are rarely encountered and there are a minimal number of cases reported worldwide. Most of these encounters have been associated with malignancy which is contrary to our finding. We describe a case of chronic cholecystitis which had the rare association of a giant gallbladder which was treated by surgical resection without any pathological associations. The review also describes the different grading of cholecystitis and various management approaches which are applied in common practice. Due to the fact that cases of giant gallbladders are a rare encounter, documenting this case will provide further analysis for future studies.
Keywords: Biliary, Cholecystitis, Gallbladder, Malignancy
