Figure 5c. Polypoid tubular adenoma in a mobile cecum. (a) Three-dimensional CT colonographic image reveals a 1-cm polypoid lesion in the cecum (arrow). (b, c) On corresponding axial 2D supine (b) and prone (c) CT colonographic images (shown in the same orientation), the mass (arrow) appears to move with the change in patient position, a finding that suggests stool. However, closer inspection reveals that the cecum itself rotates with the change in position. Note that the location of the mass remains constant with respect to the terminal ileum and ICV (arrowhead). Biopsy findings showed the mass to be a tubular adenoma.
