Hi
A nodule which is symptomatic should be removed as early as possible and specimen should be sent for biopsy to rule out if polyp is malignant or not however most of the polyps less then 10mm are usually benign.
Elevated WBC count can be due to inflammation in gall bladder ,Some time inflammed area is infected by bacterias ,as you already have a immune disease polyp should be removed at the earliest.
