Gallbladder agenesis (GA) is a rare congenital anomaly with conflicting epidemiology described in the literature. When present, it is misinterpreted as cholelitiasis, a highly prevalent condition. Nevertheless, surgeons and radiologists must be aware of it since it can lead to unnecessary invasive procedures. Diagnosis of GA is challenging due to the anatomical structures that sometimes resemble a shrunken gallbladder. We report the case of a 55-year-old man with preoperative diagnosis of cholelitiasis and further intraoperative find of GA. Since cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgeries worldwide, it demonstrates how relevant this case is to emphasize the need to recognize this diagnosis and be aware of its management to avoid unnecessary surgery.
