An incidental case of triple gallbladder.
Triplication of the gallbladder is a very rare congenital anomaly of the biliary tract; there are only eleven reported cases to date. Gallbladder multiplications are not likely to be discovered unless associated with cholelithiasis, sludge, cholecystitis and carcinoma. Here we report an incidentally diagnosed triplicate gallbladder in a patient with sigmoid diverticulitis; two of the triplicate gallbladder were demonstrated with ultrasound and computed tomography, and an additional galballder was found at surgery.
