Abstract
The patient was investigated for iron deficiency anemia. Colonoscopy revealed a large rectal polyp and a carcinoma of the transverse colon. The ascending colon was not viewed due to the malignant stenosis. The patient’s comorbidity included diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive airways disease, and coronary artery disease. He was declared unsuitable for surgical treatment of his coronary disease.
