Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Cholesterolosis of the gallbladder consists in an accumulation of cholesterol esters and triglycerides in the macrophages (white blood cells) at gallbladder wall level and may be either diffuse or polypoid in form. The natural history of this lesion is, in general, benign and for polyps with size ranging from 6 mm to 10 mm a yearly follow-up with ultrasonography is advisable.
