Abstract :
The incidence of incidental carcinoma of the gallbladder discovered histologically after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is 0.25-3%. Additional radical surgery may be required depending on the stage of the tumor. But, recurrence may rarely occur at the site of port. Herein, we presented a case of gallbladder carcinoma discovered incidentally who subsequently developed recurrence at the epigastric port site after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
