Zip: Out of context they mean nothing- but get a colonoscopy- just to check it out. As far as the nodule, there will be a follow up and work up with that to make certain it isn't anything evil.

Both need evaluation: The narrowing can be due to inflammation or malignancy and needs to evaluated by colonoscopy. The lung nodule also needs to be followed if you're a nonsmoker or perhaps even biopsied if you are. It can represent scar, inflammation, or malignancy.
