Hi,
Quite a few assumptions need to be made before answering this question.
Assuming that the gall bladder was fully removed then the possible cause could be chronic infection with atypical bacteria. The next option is further investigation and cause specific treatment.
Assuming that the gall bladder was partially or incompletely removed then the possible cause could be foreign body reaction due to misplaced stone. This can then be diagnosed by CT scanning.
If all went well then the pathologist report of the gall bladder specimen needs to be reviewed for malignancy.
I hope these possibilities provide you with a roadmap for further action.
Regards
