Gallbladder agenesis (GA) is a congenital entity with an incidence of around 1 per 6500 live births globally. The majority of the patients, estimated between 50 to 70 percent, remain asymptomatic while those who are symptomatic report symptoms mimicking biliary colic. The ultrasonography can be misleading or inconclusive in the initial workup for suspected gallbladder pathology. Furthermore, modern diagnostic techniques such as the hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan and endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) may show no gallbladder visibility, leading to an incorrect diagnosis of cystic duct obstruction rather than GA. As a result, some GA patients are only diagnosed during surgery. Surgery can be dangerous in these people because needless dissection in search of a non-existent gallbladder can harm the biliary network, hepatic veins, or small bowel. As a result, doctors should keep GA on their differential diagnosis list and consider imaging modalities like magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) if other tests are equivocal. We report a 56-year-old female presenting with upper abdominal pain, bloating, and dyspepsia later reported as cholelithiasis. She underwent MRCP to confirm the diagnosis of GA. No filling was detected or caliculus was seen. There was an incidental note of renal cortical cysts on right side/left side.
