Rectal tumour. Coloured barium X-ray of the large intestine of a patient with a rectal tumour (growth,dark,indicated by arrow). The rectum is the terminal portion of the large intestine,where faeces is stored before it exits the body via the anus. This is a villous,or folded,tumour. Treatment is with surgical removal as the tumour may be malignant (cancerous),or obstructing faeces from leaving the body. This image was produced using a double contrast barium enema. Water containing radio-opaque barium was introduced into the rectum,which was then distended by air | |
