Secondary rectal linitis plastica caused by prostatic adenocarcinoma - magnetic resonance imaging findings and dissemination pathways: A case report

Figure 6 Axial magnetic resonance imaging of case 2. A-C: The imaging findings reveal a stratified parietal thickening of the rectal wall, characterized by concentric areas of intermediate signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging (A), restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted imaging (B), and contrast enhancement on post-contrast T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination imaging with subtraction (C), affecting both the submucosal (green arrow) and muscular/subserosal planes (arrowhead) resembling a "linitis plastica" appearance. In addition, there is neoplastic involvement of the base of the seminal vesicles (white arrow).
