“…1 PGL commonly presents as cholecystitis. 2 Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma is the common subtype, and it is more common in old age and women. 3 We report the case of an 80-year-old female patient presenting with acute abdominal pain and diagnosed with PGL following an emergency cholecystectomy.…”

Primary gallbladder lymphoma is rare. Perforated cholecystitis due to primary gallbladder lymphoma and not related to chemotherapy has been unreported. We report the case of an 80-year-old woman presenting with an acute abdomen and clinical peritonitis. Her serum amylase was raised to 878 iu/l. Urgent computed tomography revealed generalised free fluid with a normal pancreas and was non-diagnostic as to the underlying pathology. An emergency laparotomy revealed bilious peritonitis with a necrotic patch on a distended gallbladder. A cholecystectomy was carried out and histology of the gallbladder revealed a marginal zone lymphoma.

“…Primary gallbladder lymphoma (PBL) is scarce and more than 98% of malignant tumors of the gallbladder are adenocarcinomas while malignant lymphomas account for less than 0.1-0.2% [6,8]. Clinically, primary gallbladder lymphoma appears with acute cholecystitis and less as a gallbladder mass [9]. Low-grade lymphomas present radiologically only with a slight thickening of the gallbladder wall [8].…”

In the present paper, gallbladder lymphoma is reported in 77 years old man with the presentation of cholecystitis. Primary gallbladder lymphoma is a rare disease and over 98% of malignant tumors of the gallbladder are adenocarcinomas while less than 0.1-0.2% account for malignant lymphomas. The patient was referred to our clinic with RUQ and epigastric pain and discomfort. The sonography shows that the gallbladder was edematous and semi-contracted with diffuse wall thickening (6mm), particularly in the fundus. Primary gallbladder lymphomas are clinically represented mostly by acute cholecystitis and less as gallbladder mass. Low-grade lymphomas are radiologically represented only by the gallbladder wall's slight thickening. In our case, cholecystitis was represented by normal WBC count and aminotransferase level. Radiology reported only slight thickening of the gallbladder. The high ESR (105 mm) represented an inflammatory process, which possibly would require surgery and pathological reporting.

“…The histological types were frequently reported as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma [ 9 , 10 ], DLBCL [ 7 , 11 ], IVLBCL [ 6 , 12 ] and follicular lymphoma [ 13 , 14 ], and there were rare cases with the coexistence of DLBCL and MALT lymphoma [ 15 ], and malignant lymphoma and gallbladder adenocarcinoma [ 16 ]. We compare the clinical features of reported cases of gallbladder MALT lymphoma (n = 13) and gallbladder DLBCL (n = 15) in Table 2 to evaluate the difference in characteristics between the two subtypes, which are considered to be common in gastrointestinal malignant lymphoma, including the stomach.…”

Highlights Gallbladder involvement by lymphoma is extremely rare, and only 68 cases have been reported in the English literature so far. We experienced a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the gallbladder arising 8 years after DLBCL of the right testis. We compiled and analysed reported cases in terms of background, symptoms, imaging findings, and prognosis. DLBCL was significantly more involved in other organs simultaneously or heterochronously in contrast of MALT lymphoma ( p = 0.004). Gallbladder lymphoma should be added to the differential diagnosis of gallbladder tumours.
