Preoperative CT scan showing a fungating tumour of the transverse colon. The anterior colonic wall is distorted by tumour. As there is minimal pericolic fat and the colon is peritonealised at this location, there is a very high probability that the tumour will be stage T4. Pathological staging was pT4pN1.
