Acute Cholecystitis Masking a Gastric Bezoar.

A bezoar is a solid mass of indigestible material that usually forms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Gastric bezoars, located in the stomach, can present variably. They can be asymptomatic or present with GI symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or more serious complications, such as GI obstruction or perforation. Diagnostic modalities are mainly radiological, and treatment may either be conservative or interventional. Herein, we disclose the case of a 47-year-old female who presented with a two-week history of abdominal pain with an incidental finding of a possible gastric phytobezoar, co-existing with gallbladder disease. Although not previously reported, this study highlights the possibility of an association between gallbladder disease and the formation of a bezoar.
