Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is known to be a rare, variant type of chronic cholecystitis and more frequently found in the adults with a prevalence of 0.7 to 13.2% of all cholecystitis, moreover very rare in children. Clinically, this usually presents as chronic or acute cholecystitis associated with gallstones, but biliary colic is unusual. Although it requires surgery for management, it may accompany some difficulties during cholecystectomy and postoperative complications such as biliary fistula. It could also give rise to higher conversion rates than other diseases of the gallbladder during laparoscopic procedures. We experienced a very rare pediatric case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis not associated with gallstones, successfully managed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hereby report it with literature reviews.
