Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, pathological features and surgical indications of polypoid lesions of the gallbladder (PLG). Methods The clinical data of 267 patients with PLG confirmed by pathological examination were analyzed retrospectively. Results PLG was found more frequently in young and middle-aged people. Of the 267 patients, 166 were male and 101female. There were 241 cases with cholesterol polyps(CPs) (90. 3%). CPs were the most common PLG, but they presented no special clinical features. Conclusion CPs are dominant in PLG. Patients older than 60 years with a single polyp lesion or gallbladder stone complications should resort to surgical treatment. Patients with no symptoms and PLG of less than 10mm should be followed up periodically. Cholecystectomy for PLG should be performed based on strict indications of PLG.
