Cholecystocutaneous fistula is an exceedingly rare type of external biliary fistula, where an abnormal connection forms between the gallbladder and the skin. Cholecystocutaneous fistula commonly develops in the setting of chronic calculus cholecystitis or following a previous surgical intervention involving the biliary tract. Patients with cholecystocutaneous fistula often present with systemic symptoms, such as fever, nausea, and vomiting, as well as localized symptoms in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, where the external opening of the fistula is typically found.
