My daughter has Chron s disease and yesterday had another colonoscopy done. I am worried about the notes written by the doctor . He found Benign tumor at the ileocecal valve which was biopsied. Also congested , erythematous, eroded, friable ( with contact bleeding ). inflamed and plaquish ( white ) mucosa in the terminal ileum. Please let me know if there is any possibility that my daughter will have cancer in that area.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your description about the tumor is suggestive of malignant mass more. And Charon s disease is prone to cause intestinal malignancies. So wait for the biopsy report. If it is negative then I would suggest going for repeat biopsy and PET (positron emission tomography) scan to rule out malignancy. Another possibility is tuberculosis. It will be diagnosed by biopsy only. So wait for biopsy report. Possibility of malignancy is more in her case. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
