Villous papilloma of the gallbladder in association with leukodystrophy.
A 2-year-old girl with metachromatic leukodystrophy had an unusual papilloma of the gallbladder. The association of metachromatic leukodystrophy and gallbladder disease in children is recognized. The striking anemone-like configuration of this tumor is remarkably unlike those of other papillomas described in the literature.
