Adenoma of the gallbladder in childhood.
Adenoma of the gallbladder is a rare benign tumor presenting as a sessile or pedunculated lesion with a papillary or nonpapillary structure. Of late, attention has been drawn to its malignant potential; its occurrence has never been reported in children. An 8-year-old girl who was successfully treated by cholecystectomy for a symptomatic adenoma of the gallbladder is reported.
