Screening colonoscopy was performed on a 35-year-old woman whose mother died from colon cancer at age 34. She had life-long constipation and had undergone a right hemicolectomy at age 33 because of cecal volvulus. Physical examination revealed a well-healed surgical scar in the midline of her abdomen and was otherwise unremarkable.
