AbstractInjury to gallbladder is rare in the set up of penetrating trauma caused by firearm injury. Here we reported a case of a 23-years-old male with an alleged history of firearm injury to abdomen received in a state of shock. On evaluation, NCCT shows pneumoperitoneum with hemoperitoneum and Grade II renal injury on the right side. On exploration, we found gallbladder perforation through its neck along with liver laceration involving segment IV, V, VI and right perinephric hematoma for which patient underwent cholecystectomy and entry wound was debrided. Purpose of reporting was the rarity of gallbladder injury in penetrating abdominal trauma and difficulty in preoperative diagnosis.
