Needs Colonoscopy: With the exception of lymphoma, segmental or diffuse wall thickening is usually caused by benign conditions, such as ischaemic, infectious and inflammatory diseases, Neoplasm has to be r/o. First, distinction should be made between focal and segmental or diffuse wall thickening. Your history is missing that information. You need Colonoscopy for definitive Dx and be seen by a GI specialist.
