Gangrenous cholecystitis is a serious complication of acute cholecystitis. We report a patient who presented with acute abdomen and feature of mucocele/empyema of gall bladder. The patient developed feature of obstructive jaundice in the same day of admission. As there was no ERCP available in our hospital, the patient kept for observation and management of sepsis until arranging the referral to other tertiary hospital. His condition get worse and became jaundice with raised parameters and laboratory tests. We did emergency laparoscopic cholecystotomy for him. Later, the patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.
