Abstract

In three adults with acute leukaemia, acalculous cholecystitis was diagnosed with ultrasonography soon after bone marrow transplantation. The clinical picture of cholecystitis was progressive, and cholecystectomy was performed in all cases despite anaemia, granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia. Postoperative recovery was uncomplicated.
