Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Gastric bezoars are rare gastrointestinal masses, often presenting with vague abdominal symptoms.
  • Trichobezoars, composed of hair, are a specific type of bezoar, more common in children and individuals with trichophagia.

Observation:

  • A 9-year-old girl presented with upper abdominal mass and discomfort.
  • Radiological imaging suggested a gastric bezoar, confirmed by endoscopy as a trichobezoar.

Findings:

  • Surgical removal of the gastric trichobezoar was successfully performed via laparotomy and gastrostomy.
  • The patient experienced a full recovery within ten days post-operation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering trichobezoars in pediatric patients with unexplained abdominal masses and discomfort.
  • Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in gastric bezoar cases.
