Colonic mass with a positive positron emission tomography, is it a malignant lesion?

2020-11-16

Abstract excerpt

Colonic malignancy generally presents as a mass lesion and lights up on positive positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Crohn’s Disease (CD) leads to transmural inflammation that can present as a colonic mass with a positive PET that can mimic malignancy. Early treatment improves outcomes.
