The aim of this study is to report two similar cases with an "accessory biliary duct" confluent to the main pancreatic duct. There was pancreatic juice inside the "gallbladder". There was no connection between "accessory biliary duct" and intra or extrahepatic biliary ducts. This anomalous junction of the "cystic duct" and the main pancreatic duct may be explained by embryology. These two cases could be the first human "pancreatic" bladders reported.
