Abstract :

Trichobezoars are concretions of swallowed hair retained within the digestive tract, most commonly the stomach. They predominate in young females during childhood and adolescence and are usually associated with psychiatric illness. They usually develop insidiously and hence at presentation are large in size. In this report we present a case of 21 years old young female with a large trichobezoar of size 20x9x8cm that had been surgically removed.
