Medical Conditions - Gallbladder Polyp

Gall bladder polyps are unusual growth of tissues extending from the inner lining of the gall bladder into the gall bladder. These polyps are generally noncancerous, but in rare cases, they can become cancerous. The condition is mostly symptomatic, and the diagnosis is mostly incidental and seen during imaging tests. Gall bladder polyps are surgically resected if there is a risk of malignancy or if the growth is more than 6 mm in size.
