Fecalomas are masses of hardened stool that are typically impacted in the sigmoid colon and rectum. Fecalomas are commonly associated with chronic constipation, Hirschsprung's disease, Chagas disease, and multiple psychiatric conditions. We present a case of a giant fecaloma resulting in complete large bowel obstruction and suggest a five-year abdominal ultrasound monitoring of adults presenting with chronic constipation and/or chronic nonspecific gastrointestinal (GI) complaints.

Fecalomas are masses of hardened feces that become impacted and accumulate. They are much harder in consistency than fecal impaction due to the associated coprostasis and are typically found in the sigmoid colon or rectum. Cecal fecalomas are much rarer. To date, only five cases have been previously reported in the English-language literature. We present the CT appearance of a surgically confirmed cecal fecaloma in a patient who presented with right lower quadrant pain, nausea, and vomiting, mimicking an acute appendicitis.
