Core Tip	Gallbladder polyp (GBP) is a well-known pre-malignant lesion. The size of GBP, patient’s age and presence of symptoms are the risk factors for GB cancer. GBPs of 10 to 12 mm in diameter have lower risk of malignancy compared to that in GBPs larger than 13 mm, which is similar to the risk of malignancy in GBPs smaller than 10 mm. The use of this surgical indication (GBPs larger than 13 mm GBP) can prevent 50% of unnecessary cholecystectomies without the risk of missing malignant GBPs. Our findings suggest that GBPs with a diameter of 10 to 12 mm in patients younger than 45 years of age old can be observed carefully.
