Acalculous Phrygian cap cholecystitis.

Abstract
We report a case of a 53-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with symptoms of cholecystitis; an ultrasound and CT scans showed a mass lesion associated with the gallbladder and no gallstones. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and further histological analysis confirmed acalculous cholecystitis in a Phrygian cap gallbladder.
