ABSTRACT
The detection of polypoidal lesion of gallbladder (PLG) has increased particularly with widespread use of ultrasonography (US) as a diagnostic modality. Most of the PLG are diagnosed incidentally during scanning. Differentiation of benign from malignant PLG is a major concern and further management is based on this differentiation. DATA SOURCE A Pubmed database search was performed. Abstract and articles were reviewed in detail. Other references were extracted by cross-reference. CONCLUSION:
The risk factors for malignancy in PLG are identified. The newer investigative procedures may differentiate benign from malignant PLG. Follow up of the asymptomatic patient and indication for surgery is established in PLG.
