Tuberculosis of the gall bladder, a rarity in itself, is always found associated with gallstones or cystic duct obstruction. It presents as a part of systemic miliary tuberculosis, abdominal tuberculosis, isolated gallbladder tuberculosis and as acalculus cholecystitis in anergic patients. There are no pathognomonic signs;the diagnosis depends on suspicion of tuberculosis, preoperative findings and histological examination. This is case of a 60 year old diabetic smoker male; who presented with features of calculouscholecystitis, but after cholecystectomy, on histopathology was proved to be tuberculous gall bladder. The present case of tuberculosis of the gall bladder is being reported for its extreme rarity as it was associated gallstones and thick walled gallbladder mimicking neoplasm.

“…The treatment protocol in a patient diagnosed preoperatively includes administration of Anti-Tubercular Treatment (ATT) with 2 months of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide followed by first two drug maintenance therapy for 6-7 months [20]. In the presence of signs and symptoms of gallstone disease, ATT is followed by cholecystectomy [21]. Patients diagnosed postoperatively should receive ATT to avoid the peritoneal or systemic spread of infection [21].…”

Isolated gall bladder tuberculosis is a highly rare disease entity. It may be associated with other intra-abdomen tuberculosis, which may involve the gallbladder via the lymphatics or bloodstream pathway. We intend to present a case of gall bladder tuberculosis diagnosed histopathologically in a 50 year old female patient, suspected to be gallbladder carcinoma after computed tomography scan and frozen section biopsy. So all operated cholecystectomy specimens should always be send for histopathology confirmation of the diagnosis and all patients of gall bladder tuberculosis should be assessed for any tubercular focus elsewhere in the body.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that can affect any organ system of the body. Abdominal TB can be gastrointestinal, lymph nodal, visceral or peritoneal. The gallbladder (GB) is rarely involved in abdominal TB as a primary organ. Extensive research literature on gallbladder TB is limited to case reports. There has been no review on this rare abdominal pathology. GB tuberculosis is a difficult diagnosis preoperatively. It is a rare differential among the more common gallbladder pathologies such as cholelithiasis, or a gallbladder malignancy. Typical histopathology of the resected specimen helps to establish this rare diagnosis. Subjecting every specimen to histopathological examination followed by medical treatment offers the chance of cure. Through this review, the authors attempt to provide an insight into this disease entity.
