A member asked:

Is it possible for you to feel a mucinous neoplasm in your appendix or colon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Colon and appendix are located quite deeply in your abdomen. So you can not feel any growth arising from there unless it become very large and it has been neglected and allowed to grow unchecked for many years.
