Gallbladder tuberculosis mimicking carcinoma: A case report of a rare entity.
Int J Surg Case Rep
October 2024
Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Article Synopsis
- Gallbladder TB (GBTB) is a rare disease that can mimic symptoms of other conditions like gallbladder cancer and cholecystitis, leading to misdiagnosis.
- A 33-year-old woman presented with obstructive jaundice and was initially thought to have advanced gallbladder carcinoma, but biopsies revealed it was actually infiltrative GBTB, confirmed by additional tests.
- The diagnosis of GBTB can be challenging due to non-specific symptoms, and physicians should consider it in TB-prone areas to avoid surgical misdiagnosis.
