Giant villous adenoma of the sigmoid colon: an unusual cause of homogeneous, segmental bowel wall thickening.

Colonic adenomas are commonly encountered lesions that are a precursor of colorectal cancer. Of these, villous adenomas are a rarer, more advanced subtype that are larger in size than tubular adenomas and have a higher risk of malignant transformation. We present a patient with a giant villous adenoma of the sigmoid colon identified on CT as homogeneous segmental bowel wall thickening.
