Figure 2. Clinical stage T1c prostate cancer (non-palpable, biopsy-detected cancer). (a) Axial T2 weighted MR image show a large tumour on the left side of the peripheral zone with a focal bulge and asymmetry of the neurovascular bundle (arrowhead). (b) Sagittal T2 weighted MR image shows a large volume mid-to-base tumour with direct extension into the left seminal vesicle (arrow). On MRI, tumour stage is T3b. Corresponding step-section pathology shows sites of focal extracapsular extension (c) and left seminal vesicle invasion (d, arrowhead) (pathology stage pT3b), confirming the MRI tumour stage.
