Severe Asymptomatic Gangrenous Cholecystitis in a Patient with Severe Diabetes Mellitus:
Gangrenous cholecystitis (GC) is a severe and potentially fatal form of acute cholecystitis and therefore requires early surgical treatment. However, lack of specific abdominal symptoms of GC hinders its early diagnosis. Here we present the case of a patients with severe asymptomatic GC who was diagnosed with repeat imaging and persistently elevated inflammatory markers.
