MR images of a 61-year-old man with prostate-specific antigen progression (PSA serum level 0.62 ng/mL) after radical retropubic prostatectomy, with suspected local recurrence. a Axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo (5170/112), b axial T2-weighted fat saturated fast spin-echo (6920/112) and c sagittal T2-weighted fast spin-echo (4730/114) image showing a hyperintense lobulated tissue on anterior perianastomotic location posterior to the pubic symphysis d Axial perfusion Gradient-echo T1-weighted subtracted image showing no signs of enhancement of the suspicious pathological tissue. e Diffusion-weighted images with a b value of 1.000, f 3.000 s/mm2 and g ADC map show no diffusion restricted phenomena. The hyperintese lobulated tissue detected in T2-weighted images represents a prominent sealed off venous plexus (white arrows)
