The double gallbladder and the accessory gallbladder are rare congenital anatomical variations, but important due to an increased risk of gallstones and biliary tree malformations. Most cases have been diagnosed incidentally during surgery. A trabecular-type accessory gallbladder diagnosed by ERCP is hereby described.
