Abstract
Cholelithiasis is very common, affecting around 10-15% of the general population, but giant gallstones measuring 5 cm or more are very rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is very difficult in such cases, especially in emergency situations, but can be safely performed by skilled surgeons. One such 47-year-old male with a giant gallstone measuring 8.7 cm x 4.2 cm x 3.4 cm was safely managed by laparoscopic approach and is presented due to its rarity.
