It may be cancer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

It may be neoplastic/cancer.Exact nature of mass can only be ascertained by biopsy.Biopsy is the only certain way to tell whether the tumorous growth is malignant or not.
Patient need few more investigations like liver function tests,carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) or CA 19-9 assay.MRI can be done if needed.

Its treatment is surgical removal of the gallbladder and resection of surrounding structure if there is invasion to surrounding structures.Lymph nodes should also be dissected.
