Brief Answer:
Gall bladder sludge

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Gall bladder is tiny pouch which stores the secretion of the liver, ie, bile.
Sludge in the gall bladder only means that there is some amount of left over bile in the gall bladder.

IT IS NOT RELATED TO CANCER. Please do not worry about it, it is just an incidental finding

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

I wish you good health
