A couple of other links you might find useful:

1) Here http://sdarts.cs.columbia.edu/collections/medcorpus/wjs/wjs_...
you will find an English description of a study, with summaries in French and Spanish. The English text uses hydrops of the gallbladder, and the corresponding Spanish text has "hidrops (hidrocolecisto)."

2) Diccionario ilustrado de términos médicos http://www.iqb.es/diccio/h/hi0.htm
If you click the flag next to the entries, an English translation appears. Hidrocolecisto is translated as hydrocholecystis.

And a few remarks:

Hydrocholecystis is a rare term, I believe, hydrops occurs more frequently.
Quite a few of the pages I've seen treat mucocoele (also spelled mucocele) as a synonym of hydrops. However, there might be a difference in the contents of the gallbladder:
"Distended gallbladder containing clear and watery (hydrops) or mucoid secretions (mucocele), instead of bile."

After a little more research, I also found hydrocholecystitis (which also means hidrocolecisto) - several hits - given the meaning of the word - distensión de la vesícula biliar por acumulación de agua.

I hope this is of some help.

Note from asker:
There are only 17 hits for this on Google, an extremely low number. About half of these are in nonsensical form, several of the rest are from translations. This is not likely an English word.
Yes, these are some of the hits I found. The first one is a French translation. On the second one, one of the doctors is French. This is likely a false cognate that has been translated too literally a few times.
