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.
