Trichobezoar

Posted by peanut on Wednesday May 6, 2009 Under as a med student, cool stuffs

Gross picture ahead!

The doc happily took out a plastic bag. Long time ago, a girl was admitted to the hospital for feeling a lump somewhere in her abdomen. The mother of the girl took her to the hospital and later on was diagnosed with tumor.

The doc had a short talk with the parents, and found out that the girl has the bad habit of biting her own hair.

Thus the diagnosis - trichobezoar.

Trichobezoar: A wad of swallowed hair. Also called a hairball. Trichobezoars can sometimes be found to cause blockage of the digestive system, especially at the exit of the stomach.

Look at the size. It has the shape of the stomach, and even a bit of the duodenum.
