Hemobilia and acute hemocolecyst as an unusual presentation of gallbladder cancer.

Gallbladder cancer that presents as acute cholecystitis associated with hemocholecyst and hemobilia is a rare entity. There are few cases reported in the literature. We present a case of gallbladder carcinoma diagnosed after emergency cholecystectomy, performed due to hemobilia and acute cholecystitis due to hemocholecyst.

Presentamos un caso de carcinoma de vesícula biliar diagnosticado tras colecistectomía de urgencia, realizada por hemobilia y colecistitis aguda por hemocolecisto.
