Abstract
- A 50-year-old man who had suffered from chronic indigestion complained of upper abdominal pain and vomiting which had persisted for 4 days. Consequently, he had eaten two persimmons before sleeping detected each day for five days. An irregular multinodular villous filling defect was in the duodenal bulb on, the UGI series, which had its location and changed its position. It was difficult to differentiate a papillary gastric polyp or villous tumor from the duodenal bezoar, but the patient's history of having eaten persimmons was helpful. The endoscopic and pathologic study confirmed a phytobezoar which was located in the normal duodenal bulb. Subsequently we are reporting this case having reviewed the related literature of the phytobezoar which was found in the normal duodenal bulb.
