Figure 4

Preoperative CT scan showing a fungating tumour of the ascending colon. The colonic wall is thickened and the posterior contour is irregular owing to tumour projection beyond the non-peritonealised muscle coat. As there is no tumour involvement of the peritonealised surfaces, this is considered a relatively good prognosis T3 tumour. Pathology confirmed a pT3 tumour of the ascending colon.
