    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Cholecystocutaneous fistula is a rare complication of gallbladder disease.
    • External fistulas typically arise from chronic inflammation or infection.

    Observation:

    • A spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistula presented externally.
    • The fistula opening was located at the site of a healed surgical scar in the right upper quadrant.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrates an unusual external manifestation of an internal condition.
    • Spontaneous fistula formation can occur even after prior surgical intervention.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for external abdominal wall lesions.
    • Awareness of such rare presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
