A 39-year-old man hospitalized with upper abdominal pain had been found to have a 3mm polyp in the body of the gallbladder 3 years previously. Laboratory tests on admission showed mild liver dysfunction. Ultrasonography depicted a dilated gallbladder with increased wall thickness; the polyp could no longer be seen. Computed tomography with drip infusion cholangiography again showed a dilated gallbladder, and also stenosis of the distal cystic duct. The resected specimen obtained by laparoscopic cholecystectomy showed disappearance of the polyp from the body of the gallbladder. A cholesterol stone was incarcerated in the cystic duct, representing an impacted detached cholesterol polyp causing acute cholecystitis. Spontaneous detachment of a cholesterol polyp from the gallbladder mucosa, then, can result in acute cholecystitis.
