Abstract
The patient presented with an 18-month history of epigastric and back pain, anorexia, and loss of weight. This was associated with postprandial abdominal distention. His bowel habit was normal. Physical examination revealed a tense palpable cecum. A barium enema showed an unusual extrinsic deformity in the mid transverse colon associated with angulation and narrowing of the colon (Figure 56.1). Carcinoma of the pancreas was considered as a possible diagnosis.
