Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking on HCM.
You are reporting to have done CT scan and the result was fat standing in descendent colon.
It is true that fat standing is suggestive for inflammation , otherwise It would be great if you send me Ct scan reports. So I can check it by my self and give a more accurate opinion.
I am waiting your ct scan report.
