Abstract: A 10-year-old-boy with acute acalculous cholecystitis due to polyarteritis nodosa of the gallbladder with limited involvement of this organ is reported. It is suggested that a search for other lesions is indicated when polyarteritis nodosa of the gallbladder has been diagnosed, but that no treatment is indicated when additional lesions are not found.
