    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard of care for the surgical management of symptomatic gallstone disease. Gallstone spillage at laparoscopic cholecystectomy is common, with a reported incidence of 0.2-20%. In the majority of cases there are no complications associated with this spillage, but a series of studies report patients with complications of free peritoneal gallstones. We present a case of migration of gallstone to the lung resulting in an inflammatory mass in the right middle lobe as a complication of spillage at laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
