Core Tip	Duplicated gallbladder featuring two completely independent cystic ducts is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. Herein, we present the rare case of a 46-year-old female patient with a completely independent cystic duct duplication anomaly accompanied by gallstones. Preoperative ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography confirmed the presence of a double gallbladder anomaly. The patient was successfully treated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During the procedure, two gallbladder chambers were identified, with each cystic duct being independently inserted into the common bile duct.
