Abstract
Eosinophilic cholecystitis and Lipomatosis of gallbladder are two different diseases, rarely occurring together. Both are diagnosed histopathologically. A 45 years old female who underwent routine elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis was diagnosed eosinophilic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis and lipomatosis on histopathological examination of gall bladder. This could be first case report of this unique combination. The rarity of the condition prompted us to report this case.References
