A ciliated foregut cyst is a rare developmental anomaly. It develops from the primitive foregut. It is usually located supra-diaphragmatically. Its localization in the gallbladder is very infrequent and has been sparsely reported. We report a rare case of a ciliated cyst of the gallbladder in an 11-year-old female, who presented with complaints of upper abdominal pain for 2 months. She was suspected to have gallbladder duplication or gallbladder diverticulum on imaging. The histopathology reported this anomaly as a ciliated foregut cyst. The ciliated cyst of the gallbladder is a benign congenital lesion. Abdominal ultrasonogram and computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging are suggestive of a cystic lesion of the gallbladder. The definitive diagnosis is by histopathological examination. This is a rare clinicopathological condition in the pediatric age group. The recommended treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The role of conservative management has not been established due to the rarity of the condition.
