An extraordinary rare case of implant metastasis at the laparoscopic working port, two years after an apparent uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy is presented. The histological reexamination of the gallbladder with the detection of a minimal carcinomatous lymphangiosis in newly prepared sections, the exclusion of other primary tumors and also the tumor-free interval of six months until now, after radical excision of the abdominal wall, are strongly suggestive for an intraoperative tumor cell dissemination into the abdominal wall by a histologically unrecognized carcinoma of the gallbladder.
