A 77-year-old man was evaluated at the hospital because of fever, vomiting and upper right quadrant pain. CT evaluation revealed acute cholecystitis with peri-cholecystic fluid. The patient was admitted in the operating room where an emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. During laparoscopy an incidental finding of bilobar liver lipomatosis was found. Non-Alcoholic-Fatty-Liver-Disease (NAFLD) or Non-Alcoholic-Steato-Hepatitis (NASH) or Madelung's disease. A diagnosis was not made.
