Polyps of the gallbladder

Authors: J A, Majeski;

Polyps of the gallbladder

Abstract

AbstractOne of the unusual problems associated with gallbladder disease is a polyp discovered by either ultrasonography or by oral cholecystogram. We report a recent experience of two cases of polyps of the gallbladder removed by cholecystectomy. The incidence of gallbladder polyps of any type is quite varied in the medical literature. Eighty percent of polyps occur in females, and these occur after the third decade of life. The polyps can either be cholesterol or inflammatory polyps that are not really benign tumors but just reactions of the gallbladder wall. The true mucosal benign lesions are either adenomyomas or papillomas. The adenomyomas and papillomas have malignant potential. There are case reports of carcinoma in situ and cancer arising from these lesions. The treatment for a gallbladder polyp is a cholecystectomy.
