Hemocholecyst Secondary to Gallbladder Polyp Rupture: A Report of a Rare Case

Hemocholecyst is a rare condition that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its atypical clinical presentation. In fact, with the widespread use of ultrasonography, gallbladder polyps are increasingly well documented. However, hemocholecyst is rarely reported in association with gallbladder polyps, particularly in the absence of anticoagulant therapy, gallstones, malignancy, or prior radiologic interventions. We report a case of a gallbladder polyp complicated by rupture leading to hemocholecyst. Hence, hemocholecyst may occur, particularly when a polyp is pedunculated and exhibits marked vascularity.
