Health #02 | Are you a patient of Cholecystitis ??
Today I'm here to show you what happens when you eat a lot of spicy foods !
Simply speaking, it usually affects our bile storing organ called the Gall Bladder leading to a condition called Cholecystitis.
It may be of acute or chronic type. Chronic cholecystitis may be a result of repeated episodes of mild to severe acute cholecystitis. It is usually associated with cholelithiasis (gall bladder stone) in more than 90% of cases.
*Etiology:
The causes include:- Gallstones
- Obstruction
- Tumor
Here's a pic snapped by me at my own college showing the gross and microscopic views of Chronic cholecystitis !
*Morphology:
GROSS:
*Serosa:
- It is usually smooth and glistening. It may be dulled by subserosal fibrosis.
- Dense fibrous adhesion - May remain as sequel of preexisting acute inflammation.
- On sectioning, wall is invariably thickened, and has an opaque gray white appearance.
*In uncomplicated cases:
-The lumen contains fairly clear, green yellow, mucoid bile and usually stones.
-Mucosa is preserved (generally)
MICROSCOPY:
- Degree of inflammation is invariable.
*Mild case
-Only scattered lymphocytes, plasma cells and macrophages are found in the mucosa and in the subserosal fibrous tissue
*Advanced case
- There is marked subepithelial and subserosal fibrosis, accompained by mononuclear cell infiltration
- G.B. wall has buried crypts epithelium i.e due to reactive proliferation of mucosa and fusion of mucosal fold
- Outpouching of the mucosa through the G.B. wall form Rokitansky Aschoff Sinus (contain bile).
