We report a rare case of spilled gallstones complication with a late and uncharacteristic presentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PRESENTATION OF THE CASE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 44-year-old Caucasian female presented with a complaint of a mass in the right upper quadrant associated with a cramping pain for the last 6 months. Her past surgical history included a laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed six years ago. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated an intra-abdominal cystic mass. On open exploration, a cystic mass adhered to the abdominal wall was excised containing two gallstones. The patient tolerated the procedure well and had uneventful postoperative recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although unretrieved gallstones are considered harmless, serious complications can occur early or late. The most frequent complication is the formation of abscesses in different locations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The diagnosis of gallstone abscess after years of LC is usually a diagnostic challenge.
