Brief Answer:
Relook laparotomy is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your query and concern.

This seems to be recurrent/relapse of colonic cancer, secondary origin being the surrounding lymph nodes.

You need to have a relook laparotomy and a surgical resection if needed.

A concomitant radiotherapy may also be needed in few cases.

A PET scan of the total body is strongly needed to detect the exact source and location of recurrence.

Post your further queries, if any.

Thank you.
