F-FDG PET/CT is a useful imaging modality to detect malignant gall bladder lesions. We present an image of a patient with a gall bladder mass that was found to be FDG avid but negative on F-fluorothymidine PET/CT imaging. This was later confirmed to be a case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is a rare, benign inflammatory condition of unclear pathogenesis, characterised by infiltration and subsequent destruction of normal tissue by lipid-laden macrophages together with lymphocytes and plasma cells. A 56-year-old gentleman was referred to the urology department of our hospital due to concerns that his right testicle felt firmer than his left over the preceding six months. He was investigated and subsequently underwent a right sided orchidectomy.

Introduction: Thick-walled gallbladder (TWGB) is a common yet non-specific radiological finding associated with a wide range of gallbladder pathologies, including acute and chronic inflammation, infection, and malignancy. Among the inflammatory causes, xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare but significant condition that often mimics gallbladder carcinoma. This paper presents a pragmatic approach to the diagnosis and management of TWGB, focusing on the complexities posed by XGC.
