A phytobezoar is a bezoar or trapped mass in the gastrointestinal system that consists of indigestible plant material such as fibers, skins and seeds. A persimmon phytobezoar (considered to be harder than other types of phytobezoars) is formed after frequent consumption of persimmons. The complication of gastrointestinal tract obstruction from bezoars was found to exist in the intestines but was rarely reported in the gastric tract because of its flexible volume. Here we present a 57-year-old man with persimmon phytobezoars, which ultimately led to gastric outlet obstruction.
植物性胃石是指胃肠道系统中由纤维、果皮和种子等不可消化的植物物质构成的胃石或团块。经常食用柿子后会形成柿子胃石(被认为比其他类型的植物性胃石更硬)。胃石导致胃肠道梗阻的并发症在肠道中较为常见,但由于胃容量具有弹性,在胃中发生的情况鲜有报道。本文报告了一名57岁患有柿子胃石的男性患者,该胃石最终导致了胃出口梗阻。
