Trichobezoars are hairballs in the gastrointestinal tract that usually develop due to the consumption of hair after pulling it. However, some rare case reports suggest that trichobezoar can also occur in the respiratory system. In this context, we present an unusual case of a 25-year-old woman who experienced dyspnea, productive cough, and leukocytosis. The patient was found to have a trichobezoar in her respiratory tract, accompanied by the presence of hair in her digestive tract.
毛粪石是胃肠道中的毛球,通常是由于拔毛后吞食毛发而形成。然而,一些罕见的病例报告表明,毛粪石也可能出现在呼吸系统中。在此背景下,我们报告一例罕见病例,一名25岁女性出现呼吸困难、咳痰和白细胞增多。该患者被发现呼吸道有毛粪石,同时消化道也有毛发。
