Abstract
The incidence of gall stones in thalassaemia is less than that in sickle cell anaemia or hereditary spherocytosis. With adequate blood transfusions, the incidence is as low as 2%. There are not many reports on cholelithiasis in thalassaemia. A case of 24-year-old female with thalassaemia major and gall stone is reported here.
