Gallbladder cholesterolosis, also known simply as cholesterolosis, is a common gallbladder pathology associated with chronic cholecystitis.
Informally, gallbladder cholesterolosis is known as strawberry gallbladder.
General
- Common in chronic cholecystitis.
- Associated with yellow gallstones (cholesterol type gallstones).
Gross
Features:
- Mucosa has strawberry-like appearance.
- The similarity is in the surface texture.
- The colour (yellow) is not strawberry-like.

- +/-Papillary hyperplasia.[1]
DDx:
- Cholesterol polyp of gallbladder - polypoid shape.
