A member asked:
Gallbladder ultrasound showed "small echogenic foci abutting the nondependent wall of the gallbladder. the largest near the fundus measures 3 mm in size" - what does this mean? could this be a tumor? would ultrasound rule out cancer for sure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't think so: My translation of the wording suggests there are small gall stones present, the largest the size of a BB.
