Are Cystic Lesions Cancerous?
I had a colondoscopy done yesterday....a couple spots were noted as having cystic lesions {50 cm}....normally a biopsy/sample would have been taken except I am normally on blood thinners. {aortic titanium valve implant} so there would have been the risk of bleeding. So now I am scheduled for a cat scan this week......what are they looking for...what will scan show .....if anything ....is there a cancer concern? If this is cacerous...what is next possible step procedures....58 year old male....very good health...Thankyou!

Hello.The cystic lesions are benign and only become malignant exceptionally.
why do you a tc-scan is because you are taking anticoagulants and biopsy is not possible.If tc-scan is normal are not necessary more additional tests.
I wish you good health.
