| Abstrakt: | Low phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) is a genetic disease responsible for the development of intrahepatic lithiasis. It is retained in the presence of two of the following three criteria: age of onset of biliary symptoms less than 40 years; echogenic intrahepatic images or microlithiasis; and the recurrence of biliary clinical signs after cholecystectomy. The majority of clinical situations are simple and not serious, but some complicated forms may require more invasive endoscopic or surgical treatments. By presenting two case studies, we illustrated and summarized the different aspects of this entity. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
