Although intrabdominal tuberculosis is common in developing countries (reported incidence is 12%), it rarely involves the biliary system [1]. Clinical presentation is usually nonspecific [1-3]. Radiological findings of the gallbladder may raise the suspicion of malignancy [1]. Diagnosis is often made postoperatively on histopathology examination [4,5]. Herein, we present a case of a young male who presented with recurrent right upper abdominal pain, treated as a case of impacted CBD stone, was incidentally diagnosed as tubercular cholecystitis.
