ABSTRACT
Peritoneal anomalies are common in humans. We report the presence of a cystogastrocolic fold associated with an abnormally small gallbladder in a 50-year-old male cadaver. Presence of this fold is one of the clinically important anomalies, which can result in atrophy of the gallbladder or congenital obstruction of the duodenum.

Keywords: cystogastrocolic fold, gallbladder atrophy, peritoneal anomaly, peritoneum
