Article Abstract
Eosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare post-cholecystectomy inflammatory histopathological condition characterized by more than 90% eosinophilic infiltrate in the gallbladder. We present a case of 27-year female presented with abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, altered mental status, shock, leucocytosis, deranged liver function test, and peripheral blood eosinophilia. The patient underwent cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. She developed adult respiratory distress syndrome and hospital-acquired pneumonia. From this, we want to emphasize that eosinophilic cholecystitis and cholangiopathy should be a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with allergy, peripheral eosinophilia, obstructive jaundice that are planned to undergo cholecystectomy that will have early critical care intervention.

Article Synopsis
- There are very few cases of serrated lesions outside the low digestive tract, with only two traditional serrated adenomas (TSA) identified in the gallbladder prior to this report.
- A polypoid lesion was incidentally found during gallbladder surgery for cholecystitis, displaying unique epithelial characteristics and genetic markers.
- This case highlights an unusual TSA in the gallbladder that lacked typical genetic mutations, indicating the need for more research to better understand and manage these lesions.

BACKGROUND Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic vasculitic condition characterized by bronchial asthma and eosinophilia. While biliary involvement is uncommon in EGPA, we present a unique case of EGPA presenting as steroid-responsive sclerosing cholangitis and cholecystitis. This case highlights the importance of considering EGPA in the differential diagnosis of biliary diseases, especially in patients with a history of bronchial asthma.
