This is a clinical decision. Need to assess the abdomen to see if it's operable. Also need to see the CT scan closely to decide the extent of surgery.

If possible surgery may be the best treatment for this patient
Surgery is the next option if feasible Decision should be of both medical and surgical oncologists Should give 6-8 weeks gap for surgery since the last bevacizumab, as it interferes the wound healing

14-month-old male presented with a 3 day history of watery diarrhea that has progressively worsened and is now green, mucusy, with lab confirmed blood (small amounts seen in the last pictures). Patient otherwise fine until day 3 when he developed fever 101.5 max. Diarrhea occurs about every 1-2 hours. No abdominal pain/nausea/vomiting. Decreased appetite but drinking fluids (water, mom still breastfeed, and also supplements with goat milk formula due to past suspected cows milk protein intolerance). No changes to diet except mom started to introduce formula milk and states baby has been eating eggs more regularly and used to have an egg intolerance which she thought he had outgrown. Stool cultures and allergy referral pending. Thoughts? Infectious or allergic?
