Abstract
Many complications following laparoscopic cholecystectomy have been re ported. We report a case of delayed peritoneal and retroperitoneal abc esses caused by spilled gallstones from a laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed 1 year earlier. This diagnosis was suggested only at sonogr aphy because the aggressive behavior of the lesions containing nonopaq ue gallstones suggested, by computed-tomography scan, peritoneal metas tatic disease.
