We report a case of radiological diagnosis of emphysematous cholecystitis, a relatively rare form of acute cholecystitis, in a non-diabetic 55-year-old woman. This case is unique given that this pathology is most commonly seen in diabetic male patients. The purpose of this article is to highlight a case of emphysematous cholecystitis in an unexpected population and discuss the clinical features, the diagnostic methods and the treatment.
