Follicular hyperplasia of the Gall bladder is very rare. It’s a benign entity of the spectrum of chronic cholecystitis, it’s characterized by hyperplastic lymphoid follicles along with prominent germinal center formation. This entity is very rare and comprises 2% of all cholecystectomies, it's often an incidental finding which is routinely encountered with the histopathological examination, most of the follicular cholecystitis may not show any features radiologically. Ultrasonography revealed calculi in the lumen. It’s a histopathological finding which might be mistaken for lymphomas, so knowing this rare entity is useful.We report a case of a 68-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and managed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy and histopathology revealed lymphoid follicle formation in the lamina propria and muscle layer, so the diagnosis of follicular cholecystitis is made.Due to chronic cholecystitis patient presented with right upper abdominal pain and on histopathological examination diagnosed incidentally as follicular cholecystitis.
