Abstract

Introduction: The gallbladder can present several locations of ectopy and your identification corresponds to a rare anatomical alteration.

Objective: To present a clinical case about intrahepatic gallbladder associated with complication, a rare clinical condition, and demonstrate the treatment used.

Method: a descriptive study, by means of a case report, of a patient who underwent cholecystectomy in which the presence of an intrahepatic gallbladder associated with liver abscess was verified.

Conclusion: The preoperative diagnosis of the ectopy gallbladder is highly important due to the risks of complications in case of anomaly negligence during the surgery. We declare that there was no conflict of interest in the conception of this work.
