Core Tip	Gallbladder polyps (GBPs) in children are rare and are often detected incidentally, with most management strategies extrapolated from adult guidelines due to the lack of pediatric-specific recommendations. This review highlights the current understanding of classification of GBPs, risk factors, diagnostic imaging modalities, and management approaches in the pediatric population. It emphasizes the importance of individualized care based on symptomatology, polyp characteristics, and potential malignancy risk while also underscoring the need for future pediatric-focused research to guide evidence-based practice.
