Abstract
ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare disorder of small- to medium-sized vessel vasculitis that can affect a multitude of organ systems. It typically presents as asthma, with 50% of cases having some gastrointestinal involvement, but involvement of the gallbladder is very rare. We present a unique case report of a patient who presented for nonspecific symptoms, ultimately leading to a cholecystectomy, which officially histologically diagnosed them with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
