Popis:	Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare type of inflammatory disease of the gallbladder; this entity has also been termed fibroxanthogranulomatous inflammation, and ceroid or ceroid-like histiocytic granuloma of the gallbladder. Clinically, XGC sometimes is confused with a malignant neoplasm. Recently, we encountered a patient with XGC and Mirizzi syndrome, which was difficult to differentiate from gallbladder cancer accompanied by obstructive jaundice. It is important to realize that, pathologically, XGC is a benign disease, but that, in some cases, patients manifest an unusual clinical course.
