Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Pathology
Psychiatry

Background:

Gastroduodenal trichobezoars are rare formations, often associated with psychiatric conditions.
Diagnosis can be challenging, but an evocative clinical context aids identification.

Observation:

A 21-year-old patient with a history of schizophrenia presented with acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and an epigastric mass.
Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed heterogeneous, non-enhanced lesions within the stomach, suggestive of a bezoar.

Findings:

Surgical exploration confirmed a large gastric trichobezoar.
Gastrotomy allowed for successful and uncomplicated surgical removal of the trichobezoar.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering trichobezoars in patients with psychiatric disorders presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms.
Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
Multidisciplinary care involving surgery and psychiatry is essential for managing such cases.
