What Is Cholecystitis?
2. Tumors
When we think of tumors, we tend to think of malignant cancers that can spread throughout the body. In the majority of cases, however, tumors are benign, meaning they won’t spread to elsewhere. This makes them a lot safer than malignant tumors, but that is not to say they cannot be problematic.
Tumors can sometimes grow large enough to be putting pressure on nearby tissues and organs, and this will sometimes affect their ability to function. If a tumor is growing in the gallbladder or nearby then it can cause the bile to build up, and cause the patient to develop cholecystitis.
