Abstract
Ectopic liver tissue is a rare developmental anomaly. It was seen frequently on gallbladder but was occurred in several places including intra-, retro- and extra- peritoneal sites. A 35-year-old female patient underwent surgery with the diagnosis of gallstones. A brown mass separated from liver was detected on the gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The mass was removed during cholecystectomy. Pathological examination revealed the liver tissue. Ectopic liver tissue is usually detected incidentally, during laparoscopy, laparotomy or autopsy. There are several mechanisms to explain the development of liver ectopia. Ectopic liver tissue is usually asymptomatic. In conclusion the removal of ectopic liver tissue may be the appropriate management strategy.

Abstract
Ektopik karaciğer dokusu nadir görülen bir gelişim anomalisidir. Sıklıkla safra kesesinde görülür ama intraperitoneal, ekstraperitoneal, intratorakal gibi pek çok yerde görülebilir. 35 yaşında bayan hasta safra kesesi taşı teşhisiyle ameliyata alındı. Laparoskopik kolesistektomi esnasında safra kesesi üzerinde karaciğerden bağımsız, kahverengi kitle görüldü. Kitle kolesistektomi ile birlikte çıkarıldı. Patolojik incelemede karaciğer dokusu olduğu belirlendi. Ektopik karaciğer dokusu genellikle laparoskopi, laparatomi veya otopsi esnasında tesadüfen görülür. Bu anomaliyi açıklayacak çeşitli mekanizmalar vardır. Ektopik karaciğer dokusu genellikle asemptomatiktir. Sonuç olarak rastlantısal görülen ektopik karaciğer dokusunun çıkarılması uygun bir tedavi yaklaşımı olabilir.
