A member asked:
I had a cat scan that stated i had a right -sided mass an emergency colonscopy was done and showed nothing why would a ct scan show a mass?

Stool can look mass: Could ahve been stool appearing as a mass. The colonoscopy looks directly into the colon and you take a prep to clean out the stool. Be sure to followup with your doctor.
