Abstract

Gallbladder perforation into a parastomal hernia is an exceptionally rare but important differential diagnosis in patients presenting with parastomal pain, cellulitis, or sepsis of unknown origin. This case report highlights the diagnostic complexity of this presentation and the surgical considerations for management, particularly in comorbid patients who may not be an appropriate surgical candidate.
