Overview

In surgical pathology, strawberry gall bladder, more formally cholesterolosis of the gall bladder and gall bladder cholesterolosis, is a change in the gallbladder wall due to excess cholesterol/cholesterol gallstones.

The name strawberry gallbladder comes from the typically stippled appearance of the mucosal surface on gross examination, which resembles the appearance of a strawberry.
