Core Tip	Bouveret's syndrome is a rare cause of gastric outflow obstruction and is easily misdiagnosed. In this case, the patient was middle-aged and did not present any chronic systemic disease. The clinical symptoms were atypical, with neither infection nor abdominal pain. The onset suggested peptic ulcer and pyloric obstruction, which was initially suspected as gastrolithiasis. An imaging study from a year prior provided important data regarding the evolution and diagnosis of the disease. The successful application of laparoscopic therapy to treat Bouveret's syndrome has seldom been reported. This patient obtained satisfactory results after laparoscopic duodenotomy for gallstone removal and subtotal cholecystectomy.
