Extrinsic compression of the medial border of the ascending colon and bilateral small bowel displacement at the lumbosacral level were observed in a sportswoman. Psoas muscle hypertrophy was confirmed by computed tomography. This entity should be added to the differential diagnosis of bowel displacement.
