Transverse gallbladder: A case report

Abstract

Ectopic gallbladder or anomalous position of the gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly. Knowledge and awareness of this anomaly is important as it may predispose to various gallbladder diseases and may lead to diagnostic confusion. Here we present a case of a rare variant of ectopic gallbladder - transverse or horizontal position of the gallbladder in a still born male fetus observed during routine fetal autopsy.
