Stage IIIB endometrial carcinoma with parametrial invasion. Coronal T2W MR image (a) shows irregular intermediate T2 tumour signal replacing the entirety of the cervix and extending into the left parametrial fat in keeping with parametrial invasion (arrow). Parametrial invasion occurs from contiguous spread via the cervix. On histological image (× 10 magnification) (b), this correlates with the presence of tumour cells (arrowheads) infiltrating into adjacent adipose tissue (arrow) with a desmoplastic stromal response (*)
