title: [Polyps of the gallbladder. Considerations on their real clinical significance].
abstract: The authors review all the cases of polyps of the gallbladder observed during the period 1964 to 1992 at the Institutes of Pathology and General Surgery at the University of Florence. On the basis of their experience, the authors affirm that these phenomena always cause more or less evident, even if not specific clinical symptoms; moreover, since they are considered high-risk lesions for the onset of malignant tumours, the authors emphasize the need for cholecystectomy in all cases.
