| Popis: | Rudimentary gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly. We present a case of an 18-year-old boy who was referred to us for surgical management of choledochal cyst. Clinical assessment and correlation of various investigations raised the possibility of rudimentary gallbladder rather than choledochal cyst. Laparoscopy evaluation confirmed the same and simple removal of the hypoplastic gallbladder cured him of his symptoms. Awareness of rare anomalies of the gallbladder and correlation of various imaging modalities aids in accurate diagnosis, thus avoiding major exploration. |
