Hello,
The ultrasound examination has noticed a structure in the gall bladder which the examiner is not sure if it is a polyp (a usual benign mass attached in the walls of the gall bladder) or a gall bladder stone that is stuck there and not moving.
Maybe repeating the ultrasound at a different time will help differentiate especially if you are fasting at least 8 hours before the ultrasound and drink plenty of water.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
