Abstract

The authors report a case of gallbladder stones with tuberculosis of gallbladder, operated for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. From the review of the literature two basic data stand out: the exceptionality of gallbladder's tuberculosis with stones at the same time and the opportunity to make the diagnosis of tuberculosis of the gallbladder only by the histological examination after cholecystectomy.
