Summary

Description
English: Intermediate magnification micrograph of cholesterolosis of the gallbladder. Cholecystectomy specimen. H&E stain.

Dead lipid laden macrophages (foam cells) are seen in the finger-like projections into the gallbladder lumen. It should be apparent that this is gallbladder, as no muscularis mucosae is present (as elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract). The blood vessels are congested and the subserosa edematous.

Cholesterolosis is often associated with cholecystitis.
