Lin and colleagues presented an unusual case of AIDS‐related cholecystopathy with an enlarged gallbladder and thickened wall. Cholecystopathy is a rare condition characterized by biliary abnormalities in AIDS patients, and the mechanism remains unclear. The authors aimed to heighten awareness of this entity in patients with advanced AIDS disease status.
