imaging findings suggestive of the presence of gallstones. She underwent open cholecystectomy with roux en y reconstruction
because of dense adhesions all around which resulted in CBD injury, quite resembling carcinoma gallbladder.
To our surprise, the specimen histopathology came out to be Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis
