ABSTRACT
Congenital malformations of the biliary tract represent a relatively rare entity with which surgeons, radiologists and clinicians are not adequately familiarized. We present a rare case of gallbladder duplication in a 40-year-old female, with the accessory cystic duct entering the left hepatic duct, which depicts the fifth reported case in the international bibliography. Our case illustrates the importance of detailed knowledge of anatomical malformations of the biliary tree, serving the purpose of a preoperative diagnosis of symptomatic cholelithiasis. It is also of paramount importance to take under consideration biliary tract malformations to avoid inadvertent complications such as biliary duct injuries in case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

We report a case of linear IgA bullous dermatosis, a rare autoimmune blistering disorder that usually presents with the abrupt onset of tense bullae. We also emphasize the importance of direct immunofluorescence for the definitive diagnosis.

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare congenital disorder usually presenting as an isolated lesion on the scalp that may be associated with genetic syndromes and congenital anomalies. Therefore, it is important to be aware of this syndrome.
