A 78-year-old female patient was admitted due to acute cholecystitis with a probable mural abscess (detected by CT), and conservative treatment was initiated. The subsequent radiological study (ultrasound, MRCP) ruled out an abscess and revealed gallbladder duplication. Due to the persistence of pain and in order to plan the surgical intervention, another radiological study was performed (ultrasound, MRCP), finding choledocholithiasis. ERCP was performed with sludge extraction, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative ICG cholangiography was scheduled. Intraoperatively, we observed Boyden’s type 2 gallbladder duplication with an H-shaped duct (Fig. 1). Standard cholecystectomy was performed, without incident (Fig. 2).
