- Abstract
A 74-year-old man with end-stage renal failure secondary to diabetes received a living donor renal transplant (cytomegalovirus [ CMV]-seropositive recipient from a CMV-seropositive donor). Computed tomography scan revealed a gallbladder with hemorrhage. On postoperative day 27, cholecystography revealed gallbladder perforation; he underwent an emergency operation. Histological examination of the gallbladder wall was positive for multiple viral inclusion bodies. We report a very rare case of both hemorrhagic and perforated CMV cholecystitis within a month following renal transplantation.
