Porcelain gallbladder (PGB) originally refers to the bluish discoloration and brittle consistency of the gallbladder wall, though the terms is now broadly applied to all the forms of gallbladder calcification. Extensive calcium deposition within the gallbladder wall imparts a fragile, brittle texture and a characteristic porcelain- like appearance. Also referred to as calcified gallbladder or calcifying cholecystitis. Despite their clinical relevance, the precise etiology and pathogenesis of gallbladder wall calcifications remain poorly understood. Current evidence suggests they result from a chronic inflammatory process, although definitive mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. primary objective of this case study is to present a classic presentation of porcelain gallbladder in a 56- year-old female patient, detailing her clinical course, evaluation parameters considered and treatment approaches achieved to manage the condition.
