Overview

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare form of gall bladder disease which mimics gallbladder cancer although it is not cancerous. It was first discovered and reported in the medical literature in 1976 by J.J. McCoy, Jr., and colleagues.[1] Eosinophilic cholecystitis was first described in 1949.[2]
