Abstract: This is a case report of a rare case fitz-hugh-curtis-syndrome which was incidental finding during laparoscopic cholecystectomy whose incidence tends to increase with use of laparoscopy; this is in the order of 15-30% women with pelvic inflammatory disease. This article presents the case of 30 -year -old woman who came with complaints of right hypochondriac and epigastric pain of moderate intensity, irradiated to back. The diagnosis was confirmed by abdominal ultrasonography which was suggestive of large solitary non-mobile gall bladder calculus; for this reason elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was planned, intraoperatively extensive, dense violin strings like adhesions between the anterosuperior hepatic surface and abdominal wall were seen.
