Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is a rare presentation of chronic cholecystitis, characterized by xanthogranuloma, severe foam cells, and fibrosis. It can be an inducement of difficulty in cholecystectomy. In this case series, we describe four cases of cholecystitis which was diagnosed post-operatively to have xanthogranulomatous inflammation in the gallbladder on histopathological examination.
