First, there is no correlation between a melanoma and gallbladder polyps.
Gallbladder polyps are little growths that stick out from the lining of the gallbladder. They are almost always benign…especially if they are small. However, the doctor will have them checked via ultrasound on a regular basis. No treatment is necessary.
For larger polyps, polyps cause pain or if your mom also has gallstones, the doctor will probably recommend that your mom have her gallbladder removed.
If your mom had "an attack of sorts a few months ago", it is totally possible that she might have gallstones. I am sure her doctor will check out that possibility, if he hasn’t already.
