Gallbladder malformation with gastric wall-like architecture.
A 3-year-old girl was found to have a distended gallbladder, which pathologically consisted almost entirely of a gastric-type wall, featuring muscularis mucosae and a well-developed bilayered muscularis propria. This appears to be a unique, not previously recognized, malformation of the gallbladder.
