We report an interesting case of the longest gallbladder ever removed through laparoscopy for a gall stone disease from Arabian Peninsula. Gallbladder measured 20 cms in length with a single large stone about 3.5cm in size. This has been the longest gallbladder ever reported from the Arabian Peninsula to our knowledge in the medical literature. However, the longest gallbladder of 30 cm size, for a case of mucocele gallbladder removed by Rahul Yadav et al. from Rajasthan in India1. Most of the gallbladder anomalies detected intraoperatively and the operating surgeon always expected to look for anomalies of biliovascular system.
