Figure

• 

  Figure 1. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography scan showing diffuse wall thickening of the gallbladder with some irregularity.

• 

  Figure 2. Granuloma surrounds the blood vessel (blue arrows) and granulomatous inflammation is also noted in and around the blood vessels (H&E, ×40).

• 

  Figure 3. The vessel wall (yellow arrows) is destructed by inflammatory infiltrates in the right upper area of the vessel (vasculitis with fibrinoid necrosis, red arrow). Many eosinophils which have bright red colored cytoplasm infiltrates into and around the vessel (black arrows) (H&E, ×200).
