MRI for a 61-year-old female patient with pathologically proven rectal adenocarcinoma presented clinically by bleeding per rectum. A Axial T1 WI and B Axial T2 WI showed enlarged left peri-rectal lymph node measuring about 8.5 × 5.1 mm at maximum axial dimensions, eliciting intermediate T1, heterogeneous high T2 signals, has an oval configuration with irregular borders, morphologically it is considered to be suspicious lymph node C DWI and D ADC map showed restricted diffusion; with the predominant bright areas on DWI corresponding to low signal areas on the ADC map ADC mean = 0.89 × 10–3 mm2/s. Histopathological analysis confirmed metastatic nature of the examined lymph node
