C/O : Hematochezia
A 69 year old male presents with hematochezia for 7 days and abdominal pain for 10 days. Abdominal pain is not relieved by medication. Vitals are normal. Leucocytes: 7,500/µL, Hb: 10 g/dL, CEA: 1.3 ng/mL. CT shows a mass of 2 cm in the ascending colon. Colonoscopy shows a white protruding mass that looks malignant. What is your views on the management?
A colonoscopic biopsy should have been done to confirm the diagnosis of CA ASCENDING COLON . After a CECT abdomen with metastatic work up - right hemicolectomy is indicated
To access the possible neoplastic pathogy, adviced for CT guided HPE. And to proceed for surgical intervention if needed without delay.
