A young female patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy but presented with a persistently discharging sinus from the port site.
The gallbladder biopsy revealed granulomas typical of chronic granulomatous tuberculosis. The condition of the patient was improved by antitubercular treatment.
Presentation of gallbladder tuberculosis as a persistent discharging sinus at the port site in a patient who has undergone a laparoscopic cholecystectomy is extremely rare. The diagnosis was reached by histopathology only. The rarity of the presentation prompted us to report the case.
