ANCILLARIES
IMPRESSION:
Non-calcified subpleural nodule in the lateral segment of the middle lobe. Follow-up is recommended.
Few patchy areas of reticulonodular densities in the right upper lobe may relate to an infectious process
Linear density suggestive of subsegmental atelectasis or fibrosis in the middle lobe
Atherosclerotic vessel disease
Osteodegenerative changes
MRI of the Lower Abdomen with Gadolinium (Rectal Protocol) (UERM, 5/4/23)
Findings:
There is mild motion artifact degradation of the images.
PRIMARY TUMOR: MORPHOLOGY, LOCATION, AND CHARACTERISTICS:
Distance to the anal verge: 6.0 cm
Distance to the top of sphincter complex/anorectal junction: 1.4 cm
Relationship to anterior peritoneal reflection: Straddles and above.
Craniocaudal length: 10.7 cm
Tumor location: Mid to upper rectum.
Morphology: Nearly annular to annular.
Mucinous composition: No mucin.
No involvement of the anal-sphincter complex.
MR-T CATEGORY: At least T3c (tumor penetrates 5-15 mm beyond muscularis propria), with projection
of tumor beyond the muscularis propria at least 13 mm. at the 6 o'clock position at the upper rectal
level. Tumor abuts the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland without definite evidence of infiltration.
EMVI: Yes
Location of EMVI: 9 o'clock position, at the upper rectal region (series 11, images 11 and 13).
MESORECTAL FASCIA (MRF) (FOR T3 TUMORS ONLY)
Shortest distance of tumor to MRF: 0-1 mm, at the 9 to 10 o'clock position of the mid rectum, just below
and at the level of the anterior peritoneal reflection (series 11, images 19-22).
TUMOR DEPOSITS: None identified.
LYMPH NODES:
Mesorectal/superior rectal lymph nodes and/or tumor deposits: None identified.
Suspicious extra mesorectal and locoregional lymph nodes: None identified. Note of nonspecific bilateral
iliac and inguinal and mesenteric lymph nodes, measuring up to 6 mm. in short axis diameter, without
suspicious features.
OTHERS: Normal appearance of urinary bladder. Nonspecific poorly defined decreased T2 signal
involving the peripheral prostatic zones bilaterally, as well as the left seminal vesicle, probably
secondary to chronic inflammatory changes. No findings to suggest osseous metastasis.
Impression:
Primary Tumor Location: 10.7 cm. long nearly annular to annular tumor involving the mid to upper
rectum.
MRI Stage: At least T3c N0.
Sphincter involvement: No.
MRF Status: Involved (tumor margin <1 mm from the MRF, at the mid rectal level).
EMVI: Yes.
Probable chronic inflammatory changes involving the bilateral peripheral prostatic zones and left
seminal vesicle.
PLAN:
For neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy
CHALLENGES:
Role of chemotherapy and radiation therapy as neoadjuvant treatment for rectal carcinoma
