Abstract

To the Editor: Triple gallbladder is also called vesica fellae triplex (1). It is one of the very rare congenital anomaly of the biliary tract. According to literature, 11 cases have been reported till now (2). The very first case was reported in a human cadaver in 1752 by Huber (3). Most of the cases of congenital anomalies of gallbladder remain undiscovered and come to attention only when they are associated with symptoms due to cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, biliary sludge, obstructive symptoms, and carcinoma. We report a case of triple gallbladder, which was incidentally diagnosed in a 30-year-old female who presented with complaints of pain in the right hypochondrium. Her radiological investigation revealed a duplication of gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis. However, a third gallbladder was found during surgery.
