    1. Patient presentation

    • A 49-year-old man presented to our department after clinical examination for abdominal pain experienced in the last month, associated with weight loss and nausea.
    • He reported no family history of colorectal cancer (CRC) and had performed a fecal occult blood test which resulted negative.
    • Considering the low risk of CRC and the patient’s relatively young age, CT colonography was performed.
    • Abdominal CT with contrast injection was performed to characterize the lesion.
