We report the case of a 39-year-old male presenting with acute onset vomiting and diarrhoea. Initially treated empirically for gastroenteritis, imaging later confirmed a complicated episode of cholecystitis with fistular formation and intra-abdominal cyst. Following cholecystectomy, histology confirmed a case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). This paper presents a detailed summary of the condition alongside a literature review of all available episodes of XGC since 2017 with the aim of highlighting diagnostic conclusions regarding the nature of the disease and its clinical manifestations.

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.
