Abstract

The aim was to disseminate information about gallbladder agenesis and its association with some congenital malformations, in this case, with dextrocardia. The case report of a patient with dextrocardia and diagnosis of cholecystolithiasis (by ultrasound) who presented with agenesis of the gallbladder is presented. The patient was scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, however, during the surgical procedure, the absence of a gallbladder was evident. Gallbladder agenesis is a rare anatomical variant and its association with cardiac malformations in adult patients is uncommon.
