J Pediatr Surg. 1991 Feb;26(2):223-4. doi: 10.1016/0022-3468(91)90918-j.

Abstract

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.
