Anatomical variations of the biliary tree pose diagnostic and treatment challenges. While most are harmless and often discovered incidentally during procedures, some can lead to clinical issues and biliary complications, making knowledge of these variants crucial to prevent surgical mishaps. Here, we present an unusual and clinically significant case. A 61-year-old man is admitted to the hospital with epigastric pain and diagnosis of pancreatitis of biliary origin and intermediate risk of choledocholithiasis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) reported hepatolithiasis and choledocholithiasis, whereas endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed cystic drain of the right hepatic duct. One month later the patient presented again to the emergency room with increasing abdominal pain and a computed tomography that demonstrated the presence of hepatic abscess and acute cholecystitis. The patient underwent percutaneous drain abscess and a subtotal laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Biliary anatomical variants present challenges on the diagnostic investigations, interventional and surgical procedures, understanding the possible complications is essential.
