A true trilobed gallbladder, an extremely rare gallbladder malformation

Congenital anomalies of gallbladder are very rare and a true trilobed anomaly of the gallbladder is extremely rare that there is only a single case report in the world literature. This case presents the second case of a true trilobed gallbladder, a different entity from the triple gallbladders, where 3 different lobes of the gallbladder are interconnected to each other by a narrow neck like communication and drains to a single cystic duct through one of the lobes.

Abstract

Congenital anomalies of gallbladder are very rare and a true trilobed anomaly of the gallbladder is extremely rare that there is only a single case report in the world literature. This case presents the second case of a true trilobed gallbladder, a different entity from the triple gallbladders, where 3 different lobes of the gallbladder are interconnected to each other by a narrow neck like communication and drains to a single cystic duct through one of the lobes.
