Gallbladder polyps (also known as polypoid lesions of the gallbladder) are a common incidental finding. The vast majority of gallbladder polyps smaller than 10 mm are not true neoplastic polyps but are benign cholesterol polyps with no inherent risk of malignancy. In addition, recent studies have shown that the overall risk of gallbladder cancer is not increased in patients with small gallbladder polyps, calling into question the rationale for frequent and prolonged follow-up of these common lesions. In 2021, a Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound, or SRU, consensus conference was convened to provide recommendations for the management of incidentally detected gallbladder polyps at US.

胆囊息肉(也称为胆囊息肉样病变)是一种常见的偶发发现。绝大多数直径小于 10 毫米的胆囊息肉不是真正的肿瘤性息肉,而是良性胆固醇息肉,没有恶变的内在风险。此外,最近的研究表明,直径较小的胆囊息肉患者的胆囊癌总体风险并未增加,这使得对这些常见病变进行频繁和长期随访的合理性受到质疑。2021 年,美国超声放射学会(或 SRU)召开了一次共识会议,就超声偶然发现的胆囊息肉的管理提供建议。另见本期 Sidhu 和 Rafailidis 的社论。
