Fig. 3

MRI for a 31-year-old female patient with pathologically proven rectal adenocarcinoma presented clinically with tenesmus. A Axial T1 WI and B Axial T2 WI showed enlarged left peri-rectal lymph node measuring about 13 × 10 mm at maximum axial dimensions, eliciting intermediate T1 and 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 high signal areas on the ADC map. ADC mean = 1.3 × 10–3 mm2/s. Histopathological analysis confirmed non-metastatic nature of the examined lymph node
