Figure 1 An upper endoscopy was performed, and a large gastric trichobezoar was found in the stomach.
A: Attempts to remove the bezoar were unsuccessful, so laparotomy and gastrotomy were therefore performed; B: By the gastrotomy, a 19 cm by 8 cm gastric bezoar was removed. Duodenal biopsies were obtained to confirm celiac disease. The postoperative course was uneventful.
