Platinum Health, LLC.: Colon

Colon: The colon's function is primarily to reabsorb water from the stool and store it until elimination from the body is convenient. Diseases of the colon disrupt the ability of the organ to perform this function.

Colon Polyp
This is a rather large, sessile polyp in the ascending colon (it is attached to the wall like a wart and not on a stalk like a mushroom). It has a central depression, suggestive of cancer. Fortunately, it was a benign adenoma with minimal dysplasia and was able to be removed without incident.
