It has been known for several thousand years that concretions of animal and vegetable matter form in the stomachs and intestines of certain animals. These objects are known as bezoars. The finding of such curiosities in man is also recognised but is rare. A short history of bezoars is given and a case of a giant trichobezoar reported. The medical, surgical and psychiatric aspects are discussed.
几千年来，人们就知道某些动物的胃和肠道中会形成动植物物质的凝结物。这些物体被称为胃石。在人类身上发现这种奇异物也得到认可，但很罕见。本文给出了胃石的简史，并报告了一例巨大毛发胃石的病例。还讨论了其医学、外科和精神方面的问题。
