“…Gallbladder cysts, rst described by Wiederman in 1797, are rare and classi ed as acquired, neoplastic or congenital [2,7]. Ciliated foregut cysts are uncommon congenital cysts, arising from the remnant of the embryonic foregut and usually located above the diaphragm, presenting either as a bronchial or oesophageal cyst [6].…”

“…They can also arise in relation to the pancreas, upper digestive tract and the liver. However, very few cases have so far been reported regarding the gallbladder [1][2][3][4][5][6]. We present the case of a young woman with a ciliated foregut cyst of the gallbladder whose clinical presentation, biochemical and radiological findings posed a diagnostic c h a l l e n g e .…”

Ciliated foregut cysts are rare anomalies due to aberrant embryological development. Only a small number of gallbladder ciliated foregut cysts have been reported. We report the case of a 29-year-old woman presenting with epigastric pain associated with diarrhoea and vomiting, who was found to have raised serum bilirubin levels and abnormal liver function tests. Following a diagnostic pathway including abdominal ultrasound, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound the gallbladder cyst was provisionally diagnosed to be a cyst arising from the cystic duct or a duplicated gallbladder. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was carried out and histopathology identified a ciliated foregut gallbladder cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful. In this report we offer what we believe to be an optimal diagnostic pathway and therapeutic strategy for this rare congenital cyst.

“…Eosinophils, lymphocytes or adipocytes have been observed in the fibroelastic tissue. 6 USG is extremely efficient in the detection of ciliated foregut cysts and hepatobiliary lesions. USG shows these lesions as cystic masses containing high-echoic areas similar to those of malignant tumors.…”

oregut-origin ciliated cysts origin may occur in relation to the tracheobronchial tree to upper digestive tract. 1 Ciliated foregut cysts are rare anomalies due to aberrant embryological development. It is thought to arise from a remnant of the embryologic foregut. The solitary cysts are characterised by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. 2,3 Foregut cysts below the diaphragm usually occur in the liver. 4 Herein, we present a case of foregut-origin ciliated cyst of the gallbladder. CASE REPORT A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital's surgical polyclinic with symptoms of abdominal pain, which he had had for the last 3 years. Tenderness of the right upper quadrant and Murphy's sign were present but rebound tenderness was not present in the physical examination. The results of laboratory examinations indicated normal alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) enzymes. Serologic tumor markers (AFP, CEA and CA19-9) and hepatitis B and C markers were negative. He was sent to the radiology clinic for ultrasonography (USG) of the abdomen, which revealed gallstones and a benign-appearing cystic lesion on the fundus of the gallbladder (Figure 1). A cystic structure adjacent to the gallbladder wall was found on abdominal computed tomography (CT) (Figure 2). The operation has been planned for the patient and admission to the service has been pro

“…Certains liens rendent le diagnostic évident comme l'abcès collecté du lit vésiculaire dans un contexte septique et de cholécystite connue, le bilome en postopératoire, l'hématome en post-traumatique ou encore le pseudokyste extrapancréatique au décours d'une poussée de pancréatite [5]. Le kyste endométriosique, le kyste à revêtement cilié, le lymphangiome kystique et les tumeurs primitives kystiques comme le cystadénome ou le cystadénocarcinome biliaires sont moins évidents à évoquer [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Le KH de type V de la VB prête quant à lui la confusion avec une vésicule porcelaine.…”

Échinococcose de la vésicule biliaire : une complication rare de la rupture spontanée d’un kyste hydatique hépatique

L'hydatidose sévit à l'état endémique dans de nombreux pays, et de façon ubiquitaire, n'épargnant aucun site de l'organisme. Sa localisation hépatique est la plus fréquente des atteintes viscérales mais aussi la plus sujette à des complications. Le développement de la larve d'Echinococcus granulosus dans la vésicule biliaire (VB) suite à la dissémination des vésicules à travers le tractus biliaire en reste une complication rarissime. Nous rapportons l'observation d'une patiente âgée de 32 ans admise pour la prise en charge d'une angiocholite et chez qui le bilan radiologique était en faveur d'une hydatidose de la VB suite à une dissémination à partir d'un kyste hydatique hépatique. Ce diagnostic a été confirmé en peropératoire et sur les données histopathologiques. À travers cette observation, nous abordons les différentes complications de l'hydatidose hépatique tout en insistant sur la particularité de l'atteinte de la VB. Nous mettons l'accent également sur les diagnostics différentiels face à la découverte d'une lésion kystique au niveau de la VB. Pour citer cette revue : J. Afr. Hépatol. Gastroentérol. 5 (2011). Mots clés Hydatidose · Vésicule biliaire · Diagnostic différentielAbstract Hydatid disease is an endemic zoonosis caused by the cestode Echinococcus granulosus. Its localization in gallbladder is rare and doubtful even in endemic regions. We report a rare case of a 32-year-old woman admitted to our hospital for angiocholitis. Abdominal ultrasound and MRI explorations were performed and led to the diagnosis of hydatid cyst located in the gallbladder following spontaneous rupture of hepatic hydatidosis into the biliary tree. In this case study, hepatic hydatid cyst complications, its location in the gallbladder and differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the gallbladder are reviewed. To cite this journal: J. Afr.
