“…Xanthogranulomatous cholangiopathy can occur as an isolated condition or in the setting of XGC or PSC [ 38 , 39 ]. Recently, Zhang et al.’s [39] case report described a patient with a history of recurrent cholangitis and presumed diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma who was later found to have xanthogranulomatous cholangiopathy without evidence of XGC.…”

“…XG cholangitis is a rare disease, with only 14 reported cases ( 9 ). Although it usually develops because of the extension of inflammatory lesions from XG cholecystitis into the bile ducts ( 10 ), cases of isolated XG cholangitis have been reported ( 9 ). The most common symptoms of XG cholangitis include abdominal pain and jaundice.…”

“…However, its pathogenesis remains unclear. It occurs secondary to recurrent cholangitis and leads to chronic bile duct inflammation, scarring, and XG reaction ( 9 ).…”

Xanthogranulomatous (XG) inflammatory disease is a rare benign disease involving various organs, including the gallbladder, bile duct, pancreas, spleen, stomach, small bowel, colon, appendix, kidney, adrenal gland, urachus, urinary bladder, retroperitoneum, and female genital organs. The imaging features of XG inflammatory disease are nonspecific, usually presenting as a heterogeneous solid or cystic mass. The disease may also extend to adjacent structures. Due to its aggressive nature, it is occasionally misdiagnosed as a malignant neoplasm. Herein, we review the radiological features and clinical manifestations of XG inflammatory diseases in various organs of the abdomen and pelvis.

“…XGI rarely infiltrates the pancreas and bile ducts. Only 34 cases of xanthogranulomatous pancreatitis (XGP) ( 3 ) ( Table 1 ) and 15 cases of xanthogranulomatous cholangitis (XGCg) ( 4 ) ( Table 2 ) have been reported in the English language literature (supplementary). To our knowledge, we report the first case of XGI with the simultaneous involvement of the gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreas.…”

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is a rare, benign condition that can affect several organs, including the gallbladder, kidney, skin, gastrointestinal tract, lymph nodes, and soft tissues. It is often misdiagnosed as a malignancy. In this report, we present the case of a 79-year-old male who presented with persistent jaundice for 11 months. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed pancreatic head enlargement, gallbladder thickening, and common bile duct thickening, leading to a preoperative diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of the pancreatic head. During surgery, dense adhesions were found around the portal vein, suggestive of mass invasion. To relieve obstruction, choledochojejunostomy was performed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGCc), xanthogranulomatous cholangitis (XGCg), and xanthogranulomatous pancreatitis (XGP). XGI affecting the bile ducts and pancreas is extremely rare, and there are no reported cases of simultaneous involvement of the gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreas by XGI. This study provides valuable insight into the differential diagnosis of XGI by presenting the imaging features of XGI patients.
