Distinguishing Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis from the Wall-Thickening Type of Early-Stage Gallbladder Cancer

Background/Aims: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) mimics early-stage gallbladder (GB) cancer with wall thickening on computed tomography (CT), both clinically and radiologically. Preoperative differentiation of XGC from early-stage GB cancer is important for selecting the most appropriate sur...
