Abstract
We report the pediatric case of xanthogramulomatous cholecystitis. It is the first case recognized laparoscopically in the world literature. Attention is drawn to the distinctive laparoscopic features, as well as the potential hazards of laparoscopic removal. Serial ultrasound studies in our case demonstrated the evolution of the xanthogranulomatous process.
