- Abstract
- Eosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare, poorly understood inflammatory condition of the gall bladder. It is characterized by transmural
inflammation of the gallbladder wall in which more than 90% of the white cells are eosinophils. The etiology of eosinophilic
cholecystitis remains obscure, although suggested causes include allergies, parasites, eosinophilic enteritis, and local reaction to
gall stones. We report the case of a 66-year-old man who had eosinophilic cholecystitis associated with gall stones. (Korean J Med
