Necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis of the gallbladder. A case report

Granulomatous inflammation is a tissue reaction caused by various factors. Granulomatous vasculitis is a subgroup of systemic necrotizing vasculitis. Necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis is a rare inflammatory condition consisting of granulomas restricted to blood vessels. Although it is quite rare in the gallbladder, numerous necrotizing granulomas were found in the gallbladder in this particular case. Many acute and chronic inflammatory cells, including eosinophils, were seen within the fibrinoid necrosis in the vascular structures in the central area of these granulomas.
