dc.description.abstractSummary: Gallbladder tuberculosis is an extremely rare disorder even in endemic region. It often mimics gallbladder malignancy as both of them share some common presentations. This entity is very rarely diagnosed pre-operatively as neither clinical features nor radiology are pathognomonic of gallbladder tuberculosis. The case reported here presented as chronic calculous cholecystitis with mass at gallbladder neck. Patient underwent laparotomy with suspicion of gallbladder carcinoma, which was eventually diagnosed as a case of gallbladder TB following histopathological examination of the resected specimen. He also had pulmonary TB in association and was completely cured with short course antitubercular chemotherapy.en_US
