title: Accessory gallbladder: a new anatomical variation arising from both left and right hepatic ducts.
abstract: We present a case of accessory gallbladder demonstrating an anatomical variation not previously reported. While rare, accessory gallbladders are an important consideration if a cholecystectomy is to be performed. We also present a brief literature review of accessory gallbladders.
