Acute acalculous cholecystitis (ACC) is unusual. We present a case of cholecystitis associated with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in a man in Venezuela who presented high fever, anorexia and abdominal pain. Histopathological study of the gallbladder showed Leishmania spp. ACC in VL must be kept in mind in tropical countries. |
