“…Accurate preoperative diagnosis of such anomaly is of great importance in order to prevent postoperative complications. EUS and MRCP are considered ideal diagnostic modalities for preoperative detection and characterization of the anomaly, but differentiating between choledochal cysts vs duplicated gallbladder remains challenging using such techniques [ 16 ]. Nevertheless, MRCP demonstrated the presence of the duplicated gallbladder and visualized the mass within the gallbladder.…”

Identifying a duplicated gallbladder is a rather rare entity, but a well-described phenomenon within the current literature. Although this finding has been described in numerous case reports, management remains poorly defined and the diagnosis is often difficult. We present a case of a patient with a suspected duplicated gallbladder versus a choledochocele that was diagnosed later on with adenocarcinoma within a duplicated gallbladder during surgical management requiring extended hepatic resection for curative intent. This case emphasizes the importance of radiological techniques in diagnosing such rare cases and the surgical approach of managing adenocarcinoma in the presence of this rare anatomical malformation.

Hepatic hilum-type II choledochal cyst masquerading as gallbladder duplication

Choledochal cyst and gallbladder duplication are rare congenital anomalies. They typically are surgical problems of infancy or childhood but rarely may present in adults also. Despite high resolution imaging, the differentiation of type II choledochal cyst from gallbladder duplication often causes the diagnostic dilemma; which may result in high risk for intraoperative iatrogenic injury. Operative management of choledochal cyst is the definite treatment because of its malignant potential. A type II choledochal cyst arising from the hepatic hilum presenting as gallbladder duplication on imaging has not been reported earlier in the literature and here we present a case report of the same which was managed successfully.
