The present a case of a 51 years old female with a diagnosis of umbilical hernia and cystocele. During hospitalization the patient complained a typical acute cholecystitis pain. The patient underwent ultrasonography, CT scan, and MNR that allowed us to diagnosis a calculous cholecystitis with SVIP and was elected for an open cholecystectomy.
