Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Trichobezoars are indigestible hair masses typically found in the stomach.
  • The recurrence of trichobezoars has been considered unreported in medical literature.

Observation:

  • An 18-year-old female patient presented with a recurrent trichobezoar.
  • This case challenges the existing understanding of trichobezoar recurrence.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced multiple instances of trichobezoar formation.
  • This case demonstrates that trichobezoars can indeed recur in susceptible individuals.

Implications:

  • The findings underscore the necessity of comprehensive patient counseling.
  • Addressing potential underlying psychological factors is crucial for managing recurrent trichobezoars.
