Title : Isolated acute cholecystitis, with a rare diagnosis

Abstract:

Acute cholecystitis, though a common surgical presentation, may have a rare etiology such as IgG4-Related-Disease [1].

Usually IgG4-Related-cholecystitis is associated with involvement of pancreas or biliary tree. Recently, we came across two cases of isolated IgG4-Related-Acute cholecystitis without pancreatic or biliary tree involvement, which were managed successfully.
Review of literature showed that only 17 cases of IgG4-Related cholecystitis are reported till date, out of which only 5 are of isolated gallbladder involvement.
These two cases operated by us are rare and underline the immense developments in histopathological sciences.

Knowledge of IgG4-Related cholecystitis is important to correctly diagnose and manage this entity. Recent developments in pathological sciences such as immunohistochemistry are of pivotal role towards the diagnosis.
