Ultrasound Imaging Features Associated With Neoplastic Gallbladder Polyps: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

SLSunyoung LeeYonsei UniversityWCWon ChangSeoul National UniversityHKHeejin KwonDong-A University

Key Points

  • The study aims to identify ultrasound imaging features that predict the presence of neoplastic gallbladder polyps.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of ultrasound imaging features.
  • Analyzed eight specific imaging characteristics in relation to gallbladder polyps.
  • Evaluated the association of these features with neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps.
  • Eight ultrasound features were significantly associated with neoplastic polyps.
  • Features include size ≥10 mm, sessile morphology, and single polyp.
  • Findings suggest these imaging features could improve clinical management of gallbladder polyps.

Abstract

Eight US imaging features (size ≥10 mm, sessile morphology, single polyp, coexisting gallstones, hypoechogenicity, GBWT, absence of hyperechoic spots, and vascularity) were significantly associated with the presence of neoplastic polyps. These features may facilitate the management of gallbladder polyps.
