“…However since then less than 20 cases of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistula have been reported in last 50 years. [2,4,5] So far no case report of a spontaneous malignant cholecystocutaneous fistula has been published. Gall bladder cancer is an aggressive disease with a dismal prognosis.…”

Spontaneous Cholecysto-Cutaneous Fistula Complicating Carcinoma of the Gall Bladder: A Case Report

Most cholecystocutaneous fistulas are postoperative complications of liver and biliary tract surgery or trauma. External biliary fistulas rarely occur spontaneously as a result of intrahepatic abscess (pyogenic or parasitic), necrosis or perforation of the gallbladder, or other inflammatory process involving the biliary tree. A cholecystocutaneous fistula as a presentation of an underlying cancer arising from the gall bladder is an extremely uncommon finding. Over the past 50 years fewer than 20 cases of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistulas have been described in the medical literature but so far there has been no published report of a cholecystocutaneous fistula arising from adenocarcinoma of gall bladder. We here report a case of a patient presenting with spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistula from cancer of gall bladder.

“…In case of a high clinical suspicion prompt diagnosis tonitis, subacute perforation resulting in an abscess around the gallbladder, or chronic perforation with the formation of an internal or external biliary fistula (2,6). On clinical examination the patient may be febrile and diaphoretic because of the infection but this is not necessarily the case.…”

“…In their review in 1949, Henry and Orr found 36 cases of external biliary fistulas reported after 1890 (1). In the last decades these complications have become very rare, due to the improvements in diagnostic imaging, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and advancements in biliary surgery (2,3). We describe here a rare case of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous abscess.…”

Spontaneous cholecystocutaneous abscesses or fistulae are rare complications of neglected biliary calculous disease which have become extremely rare during the last decades. We report a case of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous abscess in a 69-year-old male who presented with a mass in the right subcostal region. The diagnosis was made by CT scan with multiplanar reformating. Treatment consisted of incision and drainage of the abdominal wall abscess followed by cholecystectomy in a one-stage protocol.

“…Spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistulae are often the result of neglected biliary tract disease. This is rarely observed today because of the early diagnosis and management made possible by ultrasonography, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and effective surgical management of biliary tract disease 2 . The pathophysiology of this condition has been associated with increased pressure in the gallbladder, secondary to biliary obstruction.…”

Spontaneous perforation of gallbladder as a complication of biliary stones may lead to cholecystocutaneous abscess or fistula. Here we report a case of cholecystocutaneous fistula in a 50-year-old diabetic female patient who presented with a chronic discharging sinus on right upper abdomen with recurrent abscess formation which failed to heal despite repeated attempts at incision drainage and debridement. After evaluation the tract was explored and was found to be communicating with the fundus of the gall bladder. The whole fistula tract was excised along with cholecystectomy. (J Banagladesh Coll
