Gangrenous cholecystitis

Discussion:

The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, where a gangrenous gallbladder was carefully removed. Free bile in the right lower quadrant had caused chemical peritoneal irritation and was thus responsible for eliciting clinical signs of appendicitis.
No neoplasm palpated in the colon.

Colonoscopy performed several weeks after surgery demonstrated a normal colon without any wall irregularity, meaning that the focal thickening was probably just peristalsis.
