If we look strictly at the abdomen (and exclude pelvic anatomy) the left lower quadrant contains the inferior half of the descending colon, the superior part of the sigmoid colon and loops of ileum and jejunum.

Pathologically enlarged pelvic organs or upper left quadrant organs can sometimes be found in the lower left quadrant. For example, ovarian carcinoma's or cysts, bladder, uterine pathologies. From the upper left quadrant, massive renal carcinomas, polycystic kidney's, enlarged spleens.

Of course we can sometimes find a littel bit of extra human... during late term pregnancy.
