Cases of cholecystocutaneous fistulas are now a rare occurrence as a result of rapid diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of cholecystocutaneous fistula developing after the removal of a percutaneous drain for the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Re-occurring infection and presence of gallstones led to fistulization of the gallbladder fundus and the development of a tract along the path created by the drain. The patient presented with re-occurring right upper quadrant abdominal pain, purulent discharge from the fistulous opening and expulsion of multiple gallstones. She underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and fistula excision.
