Abstract

A phytobezoar occurring in the stomach is uncommon. The most frequent symptoms are dyspepsia, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. It is an important differential to remember in those patients with risk factors for developing phytobezoars, as phytobezoars can be managed conservatively in most cases.
