Summary
Fungal cholecystitis is an uncommon entity, and no cases of cholecystitis associated with mold infection have been reported. We present a case of acute Fusarium cholecystitis in a cytopenic patient with leukemia who had disseminated fusariosis. We also review the published cases of fungal cholecystitis, which is most often caused by Candida species. Although it is rare, fungal cholecystitis should be part of the differential diagnosis of acute cholecystitis in high‐risk patients with predisposing factors for opportunistic fungal infections.
