Figure 2. Photograph of the gross specimen shows an ill-defined mass extending from the submucosa to the subserosa of the rectum. The cut surface of the mass was yellow, granular and gelatinous. The overlying mucosa was unremarkable (white arrow). The muscle layer of the rectum is seen as a white band (black arrows) between the submucosa and the subserosa of the rectum. The mass contained a small dark yellow portion of intact fat tissue (open arrows), which corresponded to a small fatty portion of the mass on CT scans.
