Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Colonoscopic findings. (A) A huge dark-reddish discolored mass with focal ulceration, oozing was noted. (B) Thickened, short pedicle and whitish ulcerative necrosis was seen.

• 

  Fig. 2 Abdominal CT findings. (A) "Bowel within bowel" appearance was noted in the descending colon. (B) A round homogenous mass was seen on the descending colon.

• 

  Fig. 3 Pathologic findings. (A) Large tumor was measured 5.8 cm. The outer surface was dark discolored and ulcerated. (B) Yellowish encapsulated submucosal tumor with focal necrosis was seen.
