A 69-year-old Japanese woman was transferred to our hospital due to pancytopenia with a fever. She had Murphy's sign, and computed tomography showed pleural effusion and a swollen gallbladder without gallstones. We diagnosed her with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-associated acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC). Partly because her clinical and laboratory findings were not serious enough to warrant immediate surgical intervention, and partly because her poor general condition made her ineligible for surgery, surgical therapy was not selected. Corticosteroid therapy was performed with azathioprine, and the swelling in her gallbladder improved. As a conservative therapy for SLE-associated AAC, corticosteroid therapy combined with azathioprine might be beneficial.
