Abstract

Brucella spp. is a microorganism that can cause febrile, systemic infection, especially in endemic areas. Although it causes a multisystemic involvement and creates various clinical symptoms, osteoarticular symptoms are the most common. However, Brucella spp. is known to be a great mimic and can cause rare, atypical presentations. In this case report, we aimed to present a 67-year-old Turkish female patient diagnosed with stony cholecystitis due to Brucella spp. Although rare, brucellosis can be encountered as a cause of acute cholecyst. Although there are changes in the epidemiology of brucellosis, it is useful to keep in mind brucellosis in the differential diagnosis of many diseases, in endemic areas, especially in rural areas.
