We presented here a case report of a 37-years-old woman, G3 37+5 weeks pregnant with acute abdominal pain, whose diagnosis is unclear, but there are signs of liver disfunction, and for this reason a C-section is performed. She is later diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and therefore a cholecystectomy is performed.
