Abstract
This is a rare case of an ectopic gallbladder detected via ultrasound and CT scan in a 14-year-old male, who was seen at the Emergency Department due intermittent right upper abdominal quadrant pain. He underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, where an acutely inflamed gallbladder was located antero-superiorly to the liver at the right subdiaphragmatic area and embedded to the abdominal wall. Available literature regarding this entity is very limited. Aberrant locations of the gallbladder are of great clinical significance since the clinical presentation of cholecystitis may be atypical. Misdiagnosis in imaging may affect the course of patient treatment and technical problems during cholecystectomy and other biliary operations may also be encountered.
