Strawberry Gallbladder with Cholesterol Stones

Open gallbladder demonstrating strawberry gallbladder and multiple cholesterol stones, multiple, yellow, round, and small in size. Strawberry gallbladder, more formally cholesterolosis of the gallbladder and gallbladder cholesterolosis, is a change in the gallbladder wall due to excess cholesterol. Strawberry gallbladder refers to the surface appearance (not shape) of the mucosa of the gallbladder due to multiple small collections of triglycerides and cholesterol esters within the lamina propria of the gallbladder wall (gallbladder wall cholesterolosis). Strawberry gallbladder represents diffuse cholesterolosis and is a common, idiopathic, non-neoplastic condition.
