| Abstrakt: | Acute cholecystitis is a very common acute abdominal disease that mostly indicates abdominal surgery. Appendiceal adhesion to the gallbladder is a very rare condition detected during laparoscopic surgery. A 54-year-old female patient, with a known case of diabetes and hypertension, presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain of four months' duration. The pain was increasing in severity and associated with fatty meals. She was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and was sent to the operating room for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Appendiceal adhesion to the gallbladder was found, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy were performed. Adhesion of the appendix to the gallbladder should be considered by general surgeons. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
