In surgical pathology, strawberry gallbladder, more formally cholesterolosis of the gallbladder, is a change in the gallbladder wall due to excess cholesterol or cholesterol gallstones.
The name strawberry gallbladder comes from the typically stippled appearance of the mucosal surface on gross examination, which resembles the appearance of a strawberry.
It is not necessarily tied to cholelithiasis or cholecystitis.
(This ultrasound demonstrates multiple non-shadowing, non-mobile, polypoid lesions measuring less than 7mm diameter. This appearance is typical of cholesterol polyps, representing the focal form of gallbladder cholesterolosis.)
