Fig. 6

Pathological findings of surgically removed rectum. A Low-power views reveal massive fibrosis of the rectal wall that was exposed to the detached margin from the sacral bone (asterisks), and small numbers of scattered cancer cells (arrows) (magnification, ×12.5). B High-power views reveal cancer cells with markedly and irregularly swollen nuclei (magnification, ×400). C High-power views reveal a small vessel indicated by arrow head in Fig. 5A showing a marked luminal narrowing due to intimal thickening containing foamy cells, suggesting an irradiation effect (magnification, ×1000)
