Abstract

A case of papilloma of the gallbladder is reported. The gallbladder was associated with cholesterosis but not with stones. The causes of colicky pain in this case are discussed. Papillomas of the gallbladder exhibit no characteristic clinical picture; the symptoms are similar to those of any type of gallbladder disease. Papillomas of the gallbladder may be associated with malignant degeneration. Cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice.
