Abstract

Abstract: We describe an unusual endoscopic finding, caused by a dominant ovarian follicle compressing a low‐lying ascending colon just inferior to a patulous retroverted cecum. Endoscopically detected extra‐colonic lesions represent a diverse group of pathologies, and it is important the endoscopist has an appreciation of the varied number of benign and malignant causes—including those of gynecological origin.
