AIM:To investigate the preoperative factors that can predict neoplastic polypoid lesions of gallbladder (PLGs) as well malignant PLGs. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 210 consecutively enrolled patients who underwent cholecystectomy due to a PLG larger than 10 mm, determined by trans-abdominal ultrasonography or endoscopic ultrasonography.We ana-lyzed medical, laboratory, radiologic data and pathologic results. RESULTS:In cases, 146 had non-neoplastic polyps (69.5%) 64...
