Patient staged as mrT3a/b mrN2b due to multiple bulky lymph nodes in the mesorectum of which one is depicted, measuring 13 mm in the long axis and 10 mm in the short axis. The patient underwent surgery and was a pT3N0. While carefully reviewing the lymph node appearance on T2-WI, we notice they all presented with well-defined borders, homogeneous signal intensity and a preserved chemical shift effect
