[Papillary and adenomatous polyps of the gallbladder. Clinical, radiological, and anatomical study, and report on 6 cases (author's transl)].
Papillary and adenomatous polyps of the gallbladder are frequently confused with cholesterol pseudotumors. They are rare tumors and are usually diagnosed only after histological examination of a specimen removed at operation. Their course is uncertain and they are potentially malignant lesions, as shown by one of these cases. The frequent association with lithiasis, which in fact can induce malignant changes, is a point in favour of the need for surgical therapy.
