Does the CT scan mean any infective or neoplastic etiology?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

A space-occupying lesion is present in the CT (computerized tomography) scan report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Hence malignancy has to be ruled out here. CT or USG (ultrasonography) guided biopsy must be taken and sent for histopathology examination. By histopathology report, the diagnosis will be precise, and further discussion can be done accordingly.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have seen your attached CT (computerized tomography) scan report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I can interpret it and can give you further comments. The main two focus in the CT scan report is lipoma and second enhancing foci suggestive of colonic carcinoma possibility. Lipoma is a benign lesion, and no worry regarding that. The second one needs attention as it could be colonic carcinoma. So for that lesion, CT guided, or colonoscopy-guided biopsy has to be taken and sent for a histopathology examination. Histopathology will give a conclusive diagnosis if a malignant lesion is present. A malignant lesion means it is cancer, which can spread and needs treatment.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I am not saying it is 100 percent cancer. But as per the description mentioned in the CT (computed tomography) scan report chance of malignancy is more as compared to infective etiology like tuberculosis. So as the chance of malignancy is high, we cannot take a risk. Consult a gastroenterologist hospital to take a biopsy and send it to a good histopathology laboratory for diagnosis. You can provide me the report of the biopsy once done to give further comment on that.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
