Trichobezoar:
This is a trichobezoar that was removed from the stomach of a 12-year-old girl who ate her hair for six years. The hair took the shape of her stomach. Trichotillomania is defined as the self-pulling of body hair. Hair is resistant to human digestion and when eaten excessively it can form a bezoar (undigested mass) in the stomach. |
