[Accessory liver in gallbladder. Apropos of a case report].
A case of accessory liver, located in the gallbladder is presented; the lesion was discovered incidentally. The patient was a 35 year-old female who was operated on for cholecystitis and cholelithiasis; the accessory liver tissue showed signs of cholangitis and congestion, secondary to the gallbladder pathology. We point out that this rare abnormality has no pathological significance and does not require surgical treatment except, as in this case, for the coincidental cholelithiasis or if it is the site of hepatoma or cholangiocarcinoma.
