Rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors: Imaging features with clinical and pathological correlation

Figure 3 A 62-year-old man with a rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor. A: The mass is located between the prostate and the anterior rectal wall and its epicenter is well outside the rectum. Axial T1-weighted MR image shows a high signal (arrow) within the mass, in keeping with hemorrhage; B: Sagittal T2WI shows a heterogenous mixed-intense mass with blurring contour (arrow); C: Postcontrast T1WI shows the solid component of the mass enhanced heterogeneously (arrow); D: Macroscopic cross section shows a pale yellow, tan and solid mass with hemorrhage (arrow).
