case_images: TC showing the presence of a 5.2x5.0x5.6 cm mass with a marked, irregular,

case_images: Computed tomography showed the presence of a tumor of 5.2x5.0x5.6 cm, irregular, with eccentric thickening of the left anterior rectal wall in the lower rectum, with close contact with the posterior vaginal wall and partial invasion of the levator ani muscle, but with no evidence of lymph node or distant metastases (Figure 1).
case_images: Assessment of tumour response to Imatinib: MRI showing a predominantly exophytic,
  heterogenous, submucosal mass (measuring 4.0x3.0x 3.1 cm) on the left anterior
  rectal wall occupying the rectovaginal septum, with partial invasion of the
  cranial portion of levator ani muscle.

case_images: At that time, a pelvic MRI showed a partial diminution of the mass dimensions (4.0x3.0x3.1 cm), but still occupying the rectovaginal septum, with close contact of the cranial portion of levator ani muscle (Figure 2).
case_images: Surgical specimen with tumor mass completely excised en-bloc with part of the
