Advice on Surgical Pathology Report. Request Second Opinion??

Actually disregard that post. I just saw where they couldn't explain it but it was benign.
I definitely agree with a 2nd opinion.
As a GI nurse we usually are the ones to diagnose gallbladder disease but not ones to follow up with. However I have some (limited) knowledge on pathology and when we see something like indurated mucosal heaping that is usually associated with raised thickened mucosa raises red flags.
I'm no doctor, pathologist or scientist so I don't want to alarm you but it never hurts to have a second opinion.

The final diagnosis is quite confusing as well because I have had many ultrasounds, CT's, MRI's and a HIDA scan that all showed no abnormalities, no evidence of chronic/acute cholecystitis, yet the pathologist labeled it as "mild chronic cholecystitis" and "mild nonspecific mucosal and muscular hypertrophy".
