BACKGROUND: Gallbladder hemorrhage is a rare but fatal condition. The reported causes of gallbladder hemorrhage include iatrogenesis, atherosclerotic changes in the cystic arteries, acute cholecystitis or cholelithiasis, malignancy, trauma, hemophilia, pseudoaneurysm, and the use of oral anticoagulant medications. Recently, segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) has been reported as a possible etiology of life-threatening abdominal, retroperitoneal, and intracranial hemorrhages. However, no previous reports have described the association between gallbladder hemorrhage and SAM.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old man was transferred to our hospital complaining of upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed high-density images of the gallbladder and common bile duct. However, there were no obvious findings of gallstones, cholecystitis, tumors, or aneurysms. He was diagnosed with gallbladder hemorrhage and bile duct obstruction. We performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy after endoscopic biliary drainage. The gross appearance of the surgically resected specimen showed 12 small (3-12 mm), slightly elevated lesions on the gallbladder mucosa. Histologically, these slightly elevated lesions consisted of dilated muscular arteries of the gallbladder wall with fibrinoid degeneration of the media and focal loss of the internal and external elastic laminae. The histopathological diagnosis was confirmed as SAM.
CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a gallbladder hemorrhage associated with SAM. Our case report shows that SAM can cause gallbladder hemorrhage, suggesting that SAM should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder hemorrhage.
