Inflammatory necrosis of the falciform ligament is an extremely rare cause of acute right upper quadrant pain. Due to overlapping symptoms with pathologies affecting the gall bladder and liver, this poses a diagnostic challenge with limited existing literature. Here, we report a case of a 62-year-old female patient presenting in the accident and emergency department with right upper quadrant pain. The patient underwent ultrasonography and revealed thickened and echogenic falciform ligament. Further, a computed tomography revealed swollen falciform ligament with associated fat stranding. The patient was kept under conservative management and improved over 2 weeks.
