HI.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
To recapitulate: Female/64 recent colonoscopy and biopsy negative for cancer - antibiotics for infection - ** CT indicated tumor - review colonoscopy - worried as the first colonoscopy and biopsy was negative -
I would like to know the detailed CT scan report and the symptoms you have/had, please post as YYYY@YYYY
This will help me to comment better.
The possibilities are:
There may be lymph node enlargement due to infection that mimic cancer.
Occasional tumors which are outside the wall of the colon can be missed on colonoscopy but picked up on CT scan.
It is always best to make sure that there is nothing serious.
with regards.
