Ultrasonographic examination of a five-year-old, male, mixed-breed dog, identified gallbladder wall thickness, accompanied by intraluminal contents suggestive of polyps mass. The liver present normal structure and limits with no mass lesions detected. A cholecystectomy was performed one week after initial case presentation. The gallbladder was enlarged (5 cm in diameter) with a thickened wall; intraluminal mass 2 cm in diameter .The fatty mass had a sessile attachment at the neck of the gallbladder and partial occluded the lumen. The surgical removed polyps were later confirmed as cholesterol polyp composed of fatty tisues
