Focal gallbladder wall thickening is an imaging finding that includes both benign and malignant etiologies.
- cholecystoses
- masses
- gallbladder polyps
- gallbladder carcinoma: look for infiltration into adjacent organs, metastases, lymphadenopathy, bile duct dilatation
- leiomyosarcoma
- metastases to the gallbladder: rare
- benign tumors (e.g. adenoma, papilloma, villous hyperplasia, fibroadenoma)
- cholecystitis (acute or chronic)
- gallbladder sludge (tumefactive sludge): if adherent to wall, may mimic mass
- varices
- parasitic granuloma (Ascaris lumbricoides)
