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.

Article Synopsis
- Porcelain gallbladder is a rare condition marked by calcification of the gallbladder wall, increasing the risk of gallbladder cancer and leading to high levels of the tumor marker CA19-9.
- A case study presented a 60-year-old woman with abdominal pain and nausea, where imaging revealed porcelain gallbladder and common bile duct stones; her CA19-9 levels were extremely elevated after stone removal.
- Post-surgery, histopathology showed no cancer but inflammation and calcification, and CA19-9 levels normalized, emphasizing that benign conditions can elevate CA19-9 and the importance of accurate diagnosis.

Department of Urology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, India.
Introduction: Laparoscopic simple nephrectomy (LSNx) is among the gold standard options for management of selected poorly functioning and most non-functioning kidneys (PFK/NFKs). Our objective was to audit our patients who had undergone LSNx for benign causes and assess their perioperative outcomes and analyse the factors correlating with these outcomes.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed our prospectively collected data of patients with PFK/NFKs due to benign causes who underwent a LSNx on a three-dimensional (3D) system via a transperitoneal approach between January 2017 and June 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare chronic kidney condition linked to factors like kidney stones, diabetes, and recurrent infections, with a potential risk of cancer in up to 11% of cases.
- A 76-year-old woman presented with abdominal and back pain; imaging revealed a nonfunctioning kidney with necrotic areas and a nephron-cutaneous fistula, indicating advanced XGP.
- This case highlights the importance of using multiple imaging methods, such as MDCT and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, for accurately diagnosing and managing patients with XGP, especially when suspicious masses are found.
