Article Abstract
Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by prominent eosinophilic infiltration of the gallbladder wall. It often mimics typical acute cholecystitis and is usually diagnosed only after histopathological examination. This case report discusses a 69-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of acute cholecystitis who was later found to have EC. The report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and relevant literature on this uncommon condition.
