A rare case of gastric bezoar, a stomach mass made of indigestible material, was diagnosed in a young woman presenting with abdominal pain. Computerised tomography revealed characteristic air pockets within the mass, aiding diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Gastric bezoars are rare formations within the stomach, often composed of indigestible materials.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, requiring advanced imaging techniques for definitive characterization.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old female presented with two months of abdominal pain and distension.
  • Ultrasound revealed an epigastric mass, identified as a gastric filling defect on barium studies.

Findings:

  • Computerised tomography (CT) demonstrated a gastric mass with internal air pockets.
  • The mass showed no post-contrast enhancement, a characteristic CT finding for bezoars.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the distinctive CT appearance of gastric bezoars, which is infrequently documented.
