    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Gastric bezoars are indigestible masses that can form in the stomach.
    • Their varied symptoms often lead to misdiagnosis, including confusion with gastric cancer.

    Observation:

    • Previous gastric surgery alters stomach anatomy and function, increasing the risk of bezoar formation.
    • Polymorphous symptoms associated with bezoars can complicate clinical presentation.

    Findings:

    • Digestive endoscopy is a crucial tool for accurate diagnosis of gastric bezoars.
    • Endoscopic interventions offer effective therapeutic options for bezoar management.

    Implications:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy for gastric bezoars can prevent unnecessary invasive procedures.
    • Understanding the link between gastric surgery and bezoar formation aids in patient management and prevention strategies.
