Understanding and recognizing various benign polypoid lesions of gallbladder mimicking gallbladder cancer is crucial for appropriate treatment and management. The assessment of mucosal and/or serosal surface irregularity is useful for the diagnosis of invasion depth of gallbladder cancer.  

Review imaging findings of benign polypoid lesions of gallbladder, including cholesterol polyp, inflammatory polyp, gallbladder adenoma, adenomyomatosis of gallbladder, and xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis emphasis on differentiating gallbladder cancer. Discussion of associated deformity of gallbladder wall for the evaluation of gallbladder cancer invasion depth. Discussion of diagnostic problems and clinical implications.
