Cholecystitis caused by hemocholecyst: An unusual complication of Hemophilia A

Abstract: AbstractHemocholecyst is a rare disorder that has been reported in patients with gallstones. Previous reports describe cholecystitis resulting from hemocholecyst after iatrogenic trauma. We report the first case of acute cholecystitis secondary to hemocholecyst in a patient with Hemophilia A.

“…Spontaneous intra-cholecystic bleeding is a rare occurrence which was described in patients with gallstones [ 2 ] gallbladder malignancy [ 3 ] and patients receiving anticoagulant therapy [ 4 ]. Bleeding as a result of an ulcer eroding into an otherwise normal cystic artery or pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery is rare [ 5 - 7 ].…”

“…Prior authors have proposed a mechanism whereby prolonged transmural gallbladder wall inflammation causes mucosal ischemia leading to the observed intraluminal hemorrhage [4] . Other less common causes, some of which may precede acute cholecystitis and not ascribe to the aforementioned pathophysiology, have been reported including cystic artery pseudoaneurysm rupture [11] , hemorrhage associated with inherited and acquired coagulation disorders [12] , blunt trauma [6] , iatrogenic injury [13] , malignancy related [14] , and idiopathic [6] . Here we describe a case of HC in a patient with COVID-19 not on therapeutic anticoagulation.…”
