A man in his 60s was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and referred to the surgery department for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Operative exploration revealed an ectopic liver (EL) on the gallbladder wall (figure 1A), which was not detected by preoperative imaging. The EL stalk was dissected using an ultrasonic vessel sealer, and the EL was removed with the gallbladder. The patient was discharged with no complications, including a biliary fistula. EL is a rare morphological abnormality of the liver that is almost always asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during surgery or autopsy. EL is defined as liver tissue that lacks an anatomical connection to the mother liver parenchyma, often localised around the gallbladder. 1 EL incidence has been reported to be from 0.24% to 0.47% at laparotomy or laparoscopy. 1 Histologically, bile ducts, portal vein and arterial structures can be seen in the stalk connecting the gallbladder wall to the EL, as observed in this case (figure 1B). Here, there were no malignant findings; EL may be susceptible to hepatocellular carcinoma. Morita et al reported 39 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma in EL. They stated that the rate of cirrhosis of hepatocellular carcinoma was clearly lower than that of general hepatocarcinogenesis. 2 The reason for this has been hypothesised to be related to the fact that they are less susceptible to pressure from surrounding tissues, which favours cell proliferation and incomplete vascular supply and bile excretion mechanisms. 3 Resection would be desirable even on incidental detection since carcinogenesis may occur even in the absence of chronic liver disease. In addition, when resecting connective tissue around the EL, it is important to use energy devices or clips to avoid bile leakage since there may be abnormal bile duct traffic with the residual tissue. 1
