Abstract
This patient presented with symptoms due to iron deficiency anemia (Hb: 59g/L) made worse by his chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which required oxygen administration at home. A barium enema showed a large carcinoma of the transverse colon. Short colonoscopy to the distal extent of the tumor revealed 3 small polyps in the left colon and sigmoid colon diverticulosis.
