Introduction and aims. Gallbladder conditions are com-mon in daily practice. Some are usually underdiagnosed, as is the case of gallbladder polyps, which often appear as an incidental finding when performing an abdominal ultrasound or when examining a gallbladder removed for another indication. However, they can have an especially important clinical impact, if an adequate diagnostic and therapeutic approach is not given. The aim of the present study is to describe the clinical-pathological profile of patients with gallbladder polyps, emphasizing the parameters considered as risk factors for malignant transformation of neoplastic polyps. Materials and methods. Descriptive-retrospective study. The patients were cholecystectomized in a general hospital, in Lima-Peru between June of 2013 and June of 2016, for different pathologies of the gallbladder. Age, sex, symptoms, and the ultrasound findings of the patients with gallbladder polyps. Calculating the global rate of gallbladder polyps and their different histological subtypes with their respective characteristics. Results. In the described period, 1712 cholecystectomies were included and in 162 (9.4%) gallbladder polyps were found: cholesterol in 119 (86.9%), hyperplasic in 10 (7.3%) and adenomatous in 8 (5.8%). It was identified that 108 (90.8%) of the cholesterol polyps were smaller than 10 mm and 6 (75%) of the adenomatous polyps were larger than 10 mm. Conclusion. In this study, we observed that most gallbladder polyps were asymptomatic, benign, and had a good prognosis. Almost 6% of the polyps were found to be adenomatous, a subtype that requires fur-ther attention due to its prognostic implications.
