Abstract
A 58-year-old, otherwise healthy male presented to the Emergency Room due to a 24-hour-long bloody diarrhea and constitutional syndrome. Colonoscopy confirmed the presence of a colonic neoplasia. A CT scan revealed an irregular surface and poorly delimited hypodensity of liver segment 5, next to the neoplasia, with malignant infiltration being impossible to rule out.
