Missed Preoperative Diagnosis of a Double Gallbladder with Cholelithiasis in the Era of Advanced Imaging: A Rare Case Report

Colonic lipomas are uncommon nonepithelial neoplasms that are typically sessile, asymptomatic and incidentally found during endoscopy, surgery, or autopsy. We present a very rare case of a 34-year-old female patient with symptomatic pedunculated cecal lipoma causing intermittent colo-colonic intussusception. Despite adequate imaging studies, definite preoperative diagnosis was not established and the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperatively, intussusception of the cecum into the ascending colon was found and right hemicolectomy was performed. Macroscopic assessment of the resected specimen showed the presence of a giant cecal pedunculated polypoid tumor with features of lipoma, causing intussusception. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pedunculated cecal lipoma.

Double Gallbladder

Double gall bladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the Hepatobiliary system with an incidence of 1:4000 due to abnormalities resulting during the embryogenesis during fourth to sixth week of gestation. Boyden was first to describe the duplication of the gallbladder and Harlaftis classification describes three types for the duplication of the gallbladder. Preoperative diagnosis of the duplication of the gallbladder has to be confirmed to minimise the complications during the surgery and post operatively. Sometimes the duplication of the gallbladder is missed preoperatively and hence increasing the risk and complications during the cholecystectomy. MRCP is the investigation of choice for preoperative diagnosis of the duplication and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy being the treatment of choice for the double gallbladder. We encountered a 25 year old girl with duplicate gallbladder who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with removal of both gallbladders successfully.
