Abdominal computed tomography imaging. A plain abdominal computed tomography (CT) image on admission shows an irregular tumor in the left upper quadrant corresponding to the transverse colon. The tumor was in close contact with the pancreatic body and tail, and the gastric corpus greater curvature. Mildly enlarged lymph nodes were observed at the periphery of the tumorous lesion (1a and 1b). The second plain abdominal CT conducted 36 days after the first CT showed that the tumor had regressed spontaneously and the swelling of lymph nodes around the tumorous lesion had disappeared (1c and 1d). CT conducted 48 days after the first visit revealed intestinal distention on the oral side of the narrowed area in the transverse colon, and the patient underwent decompression by transanal ileus tube insertion (1e and 1f)
