We describe a case of eosinophilic cholecystitis with common bile duct stricture. A 36-year-old woman initially had generalised abdominal pain and peripheral eosinophilia. Diagnostic laparoscopy showed eosinophilic ascites and necrotic nodules on the posterior abdominal wall. She was treated with anthelminthics on presumption of toxacara infection based on borderline positivity of serological tests. She later presented with acute cholecystitis and had a cholecystectomy and choledocotomy. Day 9 T-tube cholangiogram showed irregular narrowing of the distal common bile duct. The patient's symptoms were improved with steroids and the T-tube was subsequently removed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2016-215694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,24]],"date-time":"2016-05-24T10:52:27Z","timestamp":1464087147000},"page":"bcr2016215694","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Eosinophilic cholecystitis with common bile duct stricture: a rare disease"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"Daniel","family":"Mehanna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Caboolture Hospital, Caboolture, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zainab","family":"Naseem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queensland Health, Caboolture, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muslim","family":"Mustaev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Caboolture Hospital, Caboolture, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.1","first-page":"558","article-title":"Les cholecystites e eosinophils","volume":"39","author":"Albot","year":"1949","journal-title":"Press Med"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199305000-00009"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1049","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5085(19)33192-0","article-title":"Eosinophilic infiltration of the gallbladder","volume":"63","author":"Fox","year":"1972","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0009-9260(99)90855-3"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.5","first-page":"582","article-title":"Eosinophilic cholangitis: a self limited cause of extrahepatic biliary obstruction","volume":"85","author":"Rosengart","year":"1990","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5107(97)70277-3"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.7","first-page":"572","article-title":"Eosinophilic cholangitis, lympahdenopathy, and peripheral eosinophilia: a case report","volume":"80","author":"Butler","year":"1985","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.8","first-page":"1764","article-title":"Eosinophilic sclerosing cholangitis associated with hypereosinophilic syndrome","volume":"88","author":"Grauer","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836-199201000-00015"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.10","first-page":"359","article-title":"Hypereoinophilic sclerosing cholangitis:findings using half-fourier magnetic resonance imaging","volume":"47","author":"al-Abdulla","year":"2000","journal-title":"Hepatogastroenterology"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02090217"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-68-6-1220"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-197501000-00001"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0268-960X(97)90008-4"},{"key":"2025082805353658000_2016.may24_1.bcr2016215694.15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Weller PF , Bubley GJ .
