Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
Congenital Anatomical Variations

Background:

Double gallbladder and accessory gallbladder are uncommon congenital anomalies.
These variations are clinically significant due to increased risks of gallstones and biliary tract malformations.

Observation:

A rare case of a trabecular-type accessory gallbladder was identified.
Diagnosis was achieved using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Findings:

The study describes the diagnostic process and characteristics of a trabecular-type accessory gallbladder.
This specific variant, though rare, presents diagnostic challenges and clinical importance.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis of gallbladder anomalies is crucial for surgical planning and preventing complications.
