“…As stated earlier, the causes of the development of hemorrhagic cholecystitis may be biliary obstruction by gallstones, biliary malignancies, parasitic infections, coagulopathies and trauma [ 3 ]. Pathologically, it is described that it develops due to inflammatory changes that cause ulceration of the mucosa and of the gallbladder vessels, leading to gallbladder rupture and hemoperitoneum [ 6 ].…”

Hemorrhagic cholecystitis is a rare condition with several possible causes. Despite being a difficult diagnosis, it is an important one considering the fatal possibility for the patient. The following is the case of a 68-year-old patient with dual antiplatelet therapy, who underwent coronary angiography and angioplasty in a hypocoagulate setting, developing a hemorrhagic cholecystitis. This article seeks to recognize the importance of this differential diagnosis in hypocoagulated patients with abdominal pain.

BACKGROUND Gallbladder hemorrhage is a life-threatening disorder. Trauma (accidental or iatrogenic such as a percutaneous biopsy or cholecystectomy surgery), cholelithiasis, biliary tract parasitosis, vasculitis, vascular malformations, autoimmune and neoplastic diseases and coagulopathies have been described as causes of hemorrhage within the lumen of the gallbladder. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anticoagulants may represent a risk factor. CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 76-year-old male patient. An urgent contrast computed tomography scan demonstrated relevant distension of the gallbladder filled with hyperdense non-homogeneous content. The gallbladder walls were of regular thickness. Near the anterior wall a focus of suspected active bleeding was observed. Due to the progressive decrease in hemoglobin despite three blood transfusions, this was an indication for urgent surgery. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis of this potentially fatal pathology is essential in order to plan a strategy and eventually proceed with urgent surgical treatment.
