The clinical presentation of eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is similar to that of typical cholecystitis, and its common symptoms are right upper quadrant (RUQ) tenderness and Murphy’s sign. In the literature, some reported cases have been associated with the hyper-eosinophilic syndrome(HES), infect...
