Last reviewed 01/2018
The patient with carcinoma of the transverse colon presents with a picture intermediate between that of left-sided and right-sided lesions.
A palpable mass may be noticed in the abdomen which is freely mobile in the early stages. A distended caecum indicates obstruction.
The tumour may be treated surgically by transverse colectomy.
