Popis: Perineural invasion (PNI) indicates a worse prognosis in patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC). This preliminary retrospective study included 19 patients with GBC who underwent contrast-enhanced CT within 4 weeks before surgical resection. The GBC showed PNI on pathologic assessment in 8/19 patients. On CT, wall-thickening morphology had sensitivity of 75.0% and specificity of 81.8% for PNI; soft tissue stranding around the celiac plexus had sensitivity of 62.5% and specificity of 100.0% for PNI.
