Gallbladder agenesis mimicking cholelithiasis in an adult
چکیده انگلیسی
We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with morbid obesity who came to the emergency department with right upper quadrant abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting. Her workup included a right upper quadrant ultrasound suggestive of a small gallbladder with cholelithiasis without sonographic evidence of acute cholecystitis. She underwent attempted laparoscopic cholecystectomy with no identifiable gallbladder during surgery. Postsurgical cross-sectional imaging confirmed gallbladder agenesis. This case provides an example of a rare but convincing clinical and radiologic mimic of cholelithiasis. In certain cases of biliary colic and imaging revealing a small gallbladder, a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography may be warranted to evaluate gallbladder agenesis and avoid unnecessary surgery.
