  • Title: Acute cholecystitis with a hemocholecyst as an unusual presentation of gallbladder cancer: report of a case.
    Author: Ku J, DeLaRosa J, Kang J, Hoyt D, Coimbra R.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2004; 34(11):973-6. PubMed ID: 15526137.
    Abstract:
    Several atypical presentations of gallbladder carcinoma have been reported, but one of the rarest is intraluminal hemorrhage. We report a case of carcinoma of the gallbladder disclosed by an emergency cholecystectomy, performed for acute cholecystitis caused by a hemocholecyst. The diagnostic approaches and characteristics of a hemocholecyst associated with carcinoma of the gallbladder are discussed.
