Phytobezoar Simulated Oblitoma as Cause of Bowel Obstruction: A Case Report Jama Stanley Gomez Nestor Garcia Gabriel Betancourth TeresaEmily Rivas<p>Bezoars are collections of non-digestible organic material, which after being ingested, accumulate over time in the stomach or small intestine. The most common presentation of the bezoar is in the form of phytobezoar, which is by the accumulation of undigested particles of plant origin. Phytobezoars are hard masses of undigested plant materials that accumulate in the stomach and small intestine. We present the case of a 42-year-old patient with a history of cholecystectomy who presented an intestinal sub-occlusion with suspected oblitoma. The tomography was reported as oblitoma because the image was suggestive. We performed exploratory laparotomy with the presence of a tumor mass in the sub-occluded ill area, one meter from the ileocecal valve ileal. The surgical decision was tumor resection plus manual end-to-end anastomosis. The pathology results were for phytobezoar.&nbsp;</p> Archives of Clinical Gastroenterology - Peertechz Publications 2024-11-23 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-2283.000124 en Copyright © Jama Stanley et al.
