| Abstract: | Cholesterol polyps are the most common polypoid lesion of the gallbladder and are usually less than 10 mm in diameter. In this report, we present a case of giant cholesterol polyp 32 mm in diameter treated by cholecystectomy, in which it was difficult to differentiate preoperatively between a cholesterol and a neoplastic polyp. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as a cholesterol polyp with fibrosis. We also discuss the diagnosis and treatment of large polyps of the gallbladder. |
