Low rectal lesion with luminal and mesorectal regrowth. a High-resolution sagittal T2WI shows the posterior low signal intensity scar (arrow). b Follow-up exam after 5 months showed increased signal intensity within the scar and extension to the intersphincteric plane (arrow). c The specimen shows the luminal lesion close to the anal verge. Extralevator APR was required and performed with coccygeal resection. Final pathological examination confirmed ypT3N0 with clear (4 mm) circumferential resection margins (R0)
