PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Gallbladder polyps (GBPs) are benign lesions originating from the mucosa. Polyps are usually harmless, but cases with a diameter of more than 1 cm and adenomatous features are of clinical importance due to the possibility of developing cancer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Additional reasons to consider prophylactic laparoscopic cholecystectomy include the following: Calculi greater than 3 cm in diameter, particularly in individuals in geographic regions with a high prevalence of gallbladder cancer. Chronically obliterated cystic duct. Nonfunctioning gallbladder.

Detailed explanation-3: -Any gallbladder polyp that is felt to be symptomatic should be removed. In patients at risk for malignancy, a polyp of 6 mm or greater should likely be resected.
