title: Primary papillary hyperplasia of the gallbladder: a rare cause of biliary colic.
abstract: Primary papillary hyperplasia of the gallbladder is a rare, poorly defined, clinicopathologic entity in adults. The authors describe a 12-year-old girl with this finding in the neck and body of the gallbladder. She presented with biliary colic, and ultrasonography of the gallbladder showed persistent thickening of the gallbladder wall but no evidence of calculi. Her symptoms resolved completely after cholecystectomy.
