Abstract
The gallbladder is a pear shaped organ lying in the inferior margin of liver, between the right and left lobes. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile produced by the liver. The gallbladder is affected by a large number of congenital anomalies which may affect its location, number, size and form. Some of these malformations are very rare and may lead to misdiagnosis. An ectopic gallbladder is a rare condition and can be misdiagnosed as agenesis of the organ or as a cystic mass when intrahepatic. We present two cases of ectopic gallbladder and in both cases it was associated with partial agenesis of right lobe of liver.
