Abstract
Perineural invasion (PNI) indicates a worse prognosis for patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC). This preliminary retrospective study included 19 patients with GBC who under-went contrast-enhanced CT in the 4 weeks before undergoing surgical resection. GBC showed PNI on pathologic assessment in eight of 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.
