welcome to hcm ...lesion is 12 cm proximal to splenic flexure it means it is in transverse colon
i think your doctor must have taken a biopsy of this to diagnose the exact nature of this mass
as the further treatment will be decided according to the reports
after you get the reports please come back to hcm i will definitely help you and guide you appropriately
