Popis: Triplication of the gallbladder (GB) (vesica fellea triplex) is a rare congenital Tanomaly of the biliary tract not likely to be revealed unless there are associated symptoms. To our knowledge, only 10 cases have been reported in the literature. 1 - 1 0 The first reported case was described in a human cadaver in 1752. 1 In the most recent case, reported in 2003, triple GB was diagnosed during laparoscopy, whereas preoperative sonography failed to show the abnormality. 2 We present a case of this rare anomaly diagnosed preoperatively by sonography and endoscopic sonography confirmed on laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
