Cholesterinic cholelithiasis, or cholesterol gallstones, are rare in children. This case highlights the unusual occurrence of these stones in a 13-year-old, noting higher prevalence in females.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Medicine
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Cholesterinic cholelithiasis, characterized by cholesterol gallstones, is infrequently diagnosed in pediatric populations.
  • While gallstone prevalence increases with age, childhood cases warrant specific attention due to their rarity.

Observation:

  • A case study involving a 13-year-old patient presenting with cholesterinic cholelithiasis is detailed.
  • This presentation is notable given the typical rarity of cholesterol gallstones in this age group.

Findings:

  • Cholesterol gallstones are uncommon in childhood, with a documented higher prevalence observed in females compared to males.
  • The case underscores the potential for cholesterol gallstone formation even in young individuals.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited literature on pediatric cholesterinic cholelithiasis.
  • Highlights the need for considering gallstone disease in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children, particularly in females.
