Chronic follicular cholecystitis (CFC) is a rare pathology characterized by prominent lymphoid follicles in the lamina propria distributed throughout the gallbladder wall. It has also been mentioned in the literature as lymphoid hyperplasia and pseudolymphoma. CFC represents less than 2% of cholecystectomies. Its etiopathology is mostly unknown. Most reports are based on histopathological findings, with little or no imaging analysis. We describe a case involving a 66-year-old man radiologically diagnosed as xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) versus malignancy, revealing CFC with surrounding inflammatory changes in the cholecystectomy specimen.

Article Synopsis
- A cholecystocutaneous fistula is an unusual condition where there's an abnormal connection between the gallbladder and the skin, leading to complications.
- This report details the first case linked to lymphoma in the gallbladder, involving a 76-year-old woman who experienced fatigue and abdominal pain, ultimately revealing cholecystitis and lymphoma transformation.
- Edwardsiella tarda was found in both the abscess and gallbladder drainage, and an open cholecystectomy showed lymphoma infiltration, indicating the seriousness and complexity of this case.

Article Synopsis
- Immunocompromised patients with hematologic malignancies, particularly those on anti-CD20 treatments like rituximab, face a higher risk of prolonged SARS-CoV-2 infection, and antiviral therapy may improve outcomes.
- A case study details a 68-year-old man who developed acute acalculous cholecystitis after extended treatment with a specific antiviral combination (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) for persistent COVID-19 following lymphoma treatment.
- The study suggests that ongoing antiviral therapy, along with COVID-19, might lead to complications like elevated liver enzymes and cholecystitis, highlighting the need for careful monitoring during treatment.

Introduction And Importance: Follicular cholecystitis (FC) is a rare entity found, it is found in 0.1-1 % of patients with chronic cholecystitis. 1,2 This pathologic finding has been associated with extrahepatic biliary obstruction distal to the gallbladder, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, choledocholithiasis, and distal biliary strictures.
