A member asked:
I just was diagnosed with adenomyomatosis of gallbladder, i also have 2 small polyps . should i get removed, should i fear of it becoming cancerous!

Up to you: Smaller polyps tend to be benign , size 2 cm or more have higher incidence of malignancy , the one you describing could be observed but need close observation with regular follow up sonograms , to avoid this most choose elective removal of gall bladder.
