We present the 18th known case, and the first documented in Palestine, of gallbladder CFC in a 34-year-old female (G5 P4A1) who presented with sudden-onset left flank pain. Imaging revealed mild hydroureteronephrosis due to distal ureteric stones and incidentally identified a well-defined 7\u00a0mm cystic structure within the gallbladder fundus on computed tomography, confirmed by ultrasound. The patient had no biliary symptoms, and all other abdominal findings were normal. She was managed conservatively and discharged with outpatient surveillance. Although exceedingly rare, gallbladder CFCs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of incidental gallbladder cystic lesions. Recognition of their imaging features and embryologic origin is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjaf899","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,14]],"date-time":"2025-11-14T22:44:18Z","timestamp":1763160258000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The
