General Surgeon,  's  Response
Your son has been diagnosed as having a colonic mass. It is extremely important to diagnose the exact disease process, at the earliest. It is good he is getting a CT Scan, and possibly a biopsy with CT guidance or through colonoscopy. Once the histopathological report is obtained, and the mass diagnosed, the gasterosurgeon would be in a proper position to advise him on the plan of management.
