Core Tip Secondary rectal linitis plastica (RLP) from prostate cancer is extremely rare. A target sign on T2-weighted imaging and diffusion weighted imaging is characteristic for RLP. The presence of elevated serum prostate specific antigen, T2 low signal intensity, and low apparent diffusion coefficient value lesion on pro­state should raise the suspicion of secondary RLP from prostate adenocarcinoma. For confirmative diagnosis, full-thickness excisional biopsy is required due to its characteristic mucosal sparing.
