A 72-year-old Japanese @entity1 was admitted to our hospital complaining of right upper-quadrant @entity490 , blood in his stool, and symptoms of @entity417 . On physical examination a hard mass, about 6 cm in diameter, was palpable in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Computed tomography revealed a @entity1086 which had invaded the transverse colon, with liver @entity3 . We diagnosed @entity1086 , stage IVB. Colonoscopy was performed for persistent blood in the stools. This revealed an elevated lesion which appeared to be an invasion of @entity1086 , with @entity548 from the right-side of the transverse colon. It proved difficult to stop this @entity548 by ordinary therapeutic endoscopy. In order to achieve hemostasis we therefore inserted a covered Ultraflex metallic stent to compress the @entity5 . After stent placement, blood was no longer seen in the @entity1 's stools, he became able to eat soft food and was discharged. This treatment was uninvasive and effective. Covered stent placement appears to be a new and useful method in the management of @entity548 from malignant @entity1820 .
