'''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 [[cholecystitis]]. | |||
*Associated with yellow gallstones (cholesterol type gallstones). | |||
==Gross== | |||
Features: | |||

**The similarity is in the surface texture. | |||
**The colour (yellow) is not strawberry-like. | |||
