Porcelain gallbladder or calcified gallbladder is a rare entity and is considered as the end stage of chronic cholecystitis. This disease is rarely diagnosed preoperatively and usually mimics carcinoma gallbladder. Hereby, we present a rare and interesting case of porcelain gallbladder that was diagnosed preoperatively and managed by cholecystectomy.
