  		Figure 2. (a) Axial T2 weighted MR image (TR/TE, 4320/93 ms) of the pelvis showing a well-circumscribed mass of heterogeneous increased signal intensity to the peripheral zone of the prostate. The urethra (arrow) is pushed to the left side. (b) Sagittal T2 weighted MR image (TR/TE, 2060/87 ms) of the pelvis shows a cystic component (arrowhead) over the superior posterior portion of the tumour. The tumour is well encapsulated and distinguishable from the surrounding organs, including the urinary bladder (UB) and rectum (arrows).
