الإجابة: A. Sigmoid cancer
An elderly patient with no previous surgery, gradual obstruction over a week and a dilated colon has a large bowel obstruction. Colorectal carcinoma is the commonest cause of LBO. Adhesions and internal hernia cause small bowel obstruction (and adhesions need prior surgery). Diverticulitis would usually show fever and LLQ tenderness.
