Laparoscopic enterolithotomy is a valid option to treat gallstone ileus.

Gallstone ileus is a well-recognized clinical entity. It usually affects elderly female patients, and very often diagnosis can be delayed resulting in high morbidity and mortality. An abdominal x-ray and computed tomographic (CT) scan of the abdomen may show classical radiological features of small bowel obstruction, pneumobilia, and an ectopic gallstone.

Introduction: Gallstone ileus and synchronous two carcinoids of small bowel, both pathologies have no known pathological reasons to be associated with each other and are not known to be together in one patient.

Case Report: We present a case of a 72-year-old lady who presented with small bowel obstruction as an emergency. At laparotomy we found gall stones entrapped between two carcinoid strictures in ileum.
