TEACHING POINTS

1. Lesions of intramural or extramural origin may give rise to a submucosal abnormality at colorectal evaluation. 2. MRI is the best diagnostic technique for the characterization of rectal submucosal lesions because it allows to arrive a reasonable differential diagnosis and to asses the degree of rectal wall involvement and the impairment of adjacent organs.
