Gallbladder, a derivative of foregut is a flask shaped structure present on the inferior surface of liver.it stores and concentrates bile.The diseases of this organ can be diagnosed by ultrasonography and operated through laparoscopy.But congenital anomalies are difficult to diagnose through  scan and may lead to iatrogenic injury to biliary system.In order to avoid thisa thorough knowledge of congenital variations is necessary. This is a case of rare congenital anomaly,in which a hypolpastic gallbladder  was covered by liver  tissue in the gall bladder fossa.This intrahepatic gallbladder is due to abnormal migration or incomplete canalization of cystic bud.Awareness of rare congenital anomalies will help the radiologist and surgeons to diagnose and plan their operative procedures which are either laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy .
