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.展开更多
