ABSTRACT
Polypoid tumors of the gallbladder are diagnosed very rarely in children; there are only 13 cases of childhood gallbladder polyps reported in the medical literature worldwide. Unlike those found in adults that consist mostly of cholesterol, polypoid tumors in children tend to have variable pathologic features. For pediatric patients, cholecystectomy is recommended either when the polyp is larger than 1 cm or when it causes significant symptoms. But close observation with serial abdominal sonography is sufficient in most asymptomatic pediatric patient. Recently, we experienced a 15-year-old boy with gallbladder polyps who presented with recent onset abdominal pain and nausea. A cholecystectomy using peritoneoscope was performed. The pathologic examination of the polyp revealed a tubular adenoma.
