[Acute cholecystitis caused by cystic polyp].
We present the case of a 72 years-old woman with acute cholecystitis, secondary to the obstruction of the cystic duct by a 5 mm adenomatous polyp. Diagnosis of gallbladder polyps is mainly based on ultrasonographic exploration. The recovery was uneventful.
