Hyalinising cholecystitis is rare form of chronic cholecystitis. It comprises about 1.6% of the cholecystectomy specimens. Hyalinising cholecystitis is said to be associated with risk of gallbladder cancer. We hereby present a case of a 54-year-old woman who came with chief complain of pain in right upper abdomen. She was diagnosed as a case of chronic cholecystitis on ultrasonography. For this the patient underwent cholecystectomy during which the gallbladder was removed. The final diagnosis of hyalinising cholecystitis was given on histopathology.
