Case description

Prior resection of colon polyps in the sigmoid colon revealed a small cancer in a polyp that extended close to the resection margin. No pictures were available to review the images. CT and CEA are unremarkable. Our colorectal surgeon tattooed the presumed site and requested additional resection. Such thick stalked polyps harbor big vessels. Be prepared to control bleeding with an OTSC if necessary.
