Ectopic liver is a rare developmental anomaly. Ectopic liver tissue can occur in several different organs such as the diaphragm, hepatic ligaments, omentum, stomach, retroperitoneum and thorax, but the gallbladder is the commonest site of origin. Heterotopic liver is more often incidentally detected during abdominal operations. Ectopic liver was detected on gallbladder at a 40 years old female patient during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and were taken out together with gallbladder. Histopathology demonstrated heterotopic liver tissue on the gallbladder wall. In conclusion, heterotopic liver tissue should be in mind for the differential diagnosis of masses in the gallbladder. It is recommended that if there is pathology of gallbladder, ectopic liver tissue on gallbladder must be taken out together with gallbladder.

Keywords: Gall bladder, ectopic liver tissue, cholecystectomy
