A 38 years old lady presented to her local hospital with acute abdominal pain. To evaluate the cause of her abdominal pain, she had a computed tomography (CT) scan of her abdomen that showed thickening of the distal portion of the transverse colon. For further evaluation, patient underwent colonoscopy that revealed a circumferential colonic mass in the distal portion of the colon that was suspicious for colon cancer. The colonic mass was biopsied and tissue pathology reported adenocarcinoma.
