Abstract:
Diverticula of gallbladder are very rare and only a few publications are found. Diverticula have typical appearance on radiology and often the diagnosis can be confirmed with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of the gallbladder. Here we present a 61 year old patient that was referred to Landspitali University hospital because of abdominal discomfort, mostly pressure like symptoms in the upper right quadrant. Workup of the patient showed a cystic lesion of the gallbladder. The patient was operated with a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and pathological report showed a diverticula of the gallbladder.
