Comments:
When multiple cholesterol gallstones are found in the gallbladder, they are often similar in size and appearance, indicating that cholesterol crystallization for this group of stones occurred simultaneously and the stones grew at the same rate. However, stones of unequal size or dissimilar appearance can form within the same gallbladder and represent multiple generations of stone formation.
