Background. It is uncommon to detect gallbladder metastasis of lung cancer prior to death. Case. A 49-year-old male with a diagnosis of primary lung adenocarcinoma T1bN3M1b stage IV and a L858R point mutation was referred to our department for chemotherapy. The course of chemotherapy was uneventful, and he achieved stable disease. The treatment regimen was subsequently switched to maintenance therapy; however, the patient was suddenly admitted for acute cholecystitis. Conservative treatment was ineffective, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. A histopathological examination of the resected gallbladder revealed metastasis of the lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusions. Physicians should consider the possibility of gallbladder metastasis in cases of cholecystitis among lung cancer patients.
