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.
