We report a case of laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer with an anomalous celiac trunk categorized as Type Ⅵ- Group 24 in the Adachi classification. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in an 81-year-old male revealed a shallow depressed lesion in the middle of the gastric body. Close examination led to diagnosis of cT1bN0M0, cStage Ⅰ gastric cancer, and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was planned. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed no anomalous bifurcation of the hepatic artery, but the common hepatic artery ran on the dorsal side of the portal vein, branching from the superior mesenteric artery. Therefore, an Adachi Type Ⅵ-Group 24 celiac trunk anomaly was diagnosed. During surgery, the common hepatic artery could not be confirmed in guiding suprapancreatic lymph node dissection, and the portal vein was exposed. Anterior to the portal vein, nerves that are usually around the common hepatic artery continuously ran toward the hepatoduodenal ligament instead. Suprapancreatic lymph nodes were dissected, with the portal vein considered as the common hepatic artery. Adachi Type Ⅵ is a rare anomaly with an incidence of about 2%. Preoperative diagnosis enables safe and appropriate lymph node dissection.
