description The increasing use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has led to an increased frequency of gallbladder perforation and subsequent gallstone spillage in the abdominal cavity. Occasionally unretrieved gallstones can cause infection, adhesions, and obstruction. Furthermore, spilt stones can cause erosion into adjacent organs and can migrate to distant sites, causing a variety of complications. We report the unusual case of a patient who presented with spontaneous erosion of gallstones through Grynfeltt's triangle, 1 year after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and review the current literature.
