In this picture there are represented different causes of mesorectal fascia infiltration: due to lymphangitic spread (9a); due to T3-tumour involving circumferential resection margin (9b); due to lymphnodes located within 1 mm of the mesorectal fascia (9c). In particular, this last case suggest that whenever there are lymphnodes located strictly near the mesorectal fascia, especially when they are large, we need to report this because the circumferential resection margin may be involved.
