Abstract: (4117 Views)
Background and Objective: Bezoar is a mass or indigestible substance that accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the stomach. The formation of gastric bezoars (especially phytobezoars) is rare in children; however, when they are formed, they present a therapeutic challenge due to their hard composition and consistency as well as their large size.
Case Report: A 7-year-old boy with an abdominal mass was investigated in this case report. The patient had eaten a lot of persimmons and pomegranates in the past. Gastroduodenoscopy revealed a large phytobezoar in the stomach, which was removed and treated using a gastroduodenoscope.
Conclusion: The gastroduodenoscopic technique is cost-effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal bezoars and has fewer complications for the patient than the surgery.
