Abstract

We describe a case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis in which there was close correlation between MR andhistopathological finding and review the previous literature. On both T1-and T2-weighted MR images, multiplegallstones and diffuse wall thickening of the gallbladder were seen, with multiple hyperintense intra-muralnodules. The nodules were pathologically confirmed as anthogranuloma.
