Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Yes, but this is rare. Some features of possible malignancy may be seen on ultrasound but Ct scan should be done for more accurate diagnosis. Also, for any polyps it is recommended to do cholecystectomy.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
