Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Gallbladder polyps are lesions with risk of malignancy. This risk cannot be determine with ultrasonography (USG) exactly though it is the most commonly used tests in the diagnosis of gallbladder disease. This situation is still a major problem in clinical practice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the compatibility of characteristics of polyps detected with ultrasonography preoperatively with the histopathological examination findings. METHODS: 55 patients who had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy operation for gallbladder polyps in our clinic, were included in this study. The decision of surgery was given according to polyp size of ≥10 mm, or <10 mm but who has risk factors (solitary or sessile polyps, patients aged ≥ 50 years, accompanying with gallstones or increasing of polyp size during follow-up and symptomatic patients). RESULTS: The mean age of the patients were 48.6 ± 12.2 (2483) years. The preoperative polyps size were 6.7 ± 2.9 mm. Histopathologic examination revealed that no malignancy was observed in any patients and only 5.4% (3/55) of cases had a real polyp. The size of all polyps which were accepted as real polyp, were ≥ 10 mm
