Abstract

The gastric trichobezoar is a rare disease in which diagnosis is easy in case of evocative context. Its treatment is not standardized. The authors report the case of a 9 year old girl, known to have trichophagy, presenting with a large epigastric mass. Upper endoscopy made the diagnosis of a trichobezoar. Surgical extraction was performed through gastrotomy, without complications. Psychiatric follow-up was recommended.
