Abstract
A patient with bronchial asthma and hypereosinophilia developed acute acalculous cholecystitis. Histopathologic study of the surgically removed gallbladder revealed allergic granulomatosis and angiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome). Allergic granulomatosis and angiitis having acute acalculous cholecystitis as an initial manifestation is rare. It should be recognized that acute acalculous cholecystitis may be the initial sign of a systemic vasculitis, specifically allergic granulomatosis and angiitis.Entities:
