“…This is generally formed by accumulation of substances such as cellulose, tannin, lignin that are contained in vegetables and fruits and which could not be digested (3)(4)(5). Slowing down of the stomach discharge and past stomach operation that causes the stomach acid to reduce are important factors for development of the bezoar (7,9,10). History of operation of the patient was not present in our case.…”

Phytobezoar is a rare cause of gastro-intestinal tract obstruction. Common sites of phytobezoar are the stomach and small bowel. Naturally, extrahepatic duct phytobezoar is near impossible due to anatomical structure and location such as ampulla of vater, common bile duct and bifurcation of bile duct. Here, we present an extremely rare case of extrahepatic duct phytobezoar that resulted in abdominal pain. We successfully treated the case with extraoperative transenteral endoscopic removal of phytobezoar. For its great rarity and particular treatment approach, we report this case with review of literature.

Hastamızda, DM mevctuttu.…”
