Gastroduodenal trichobezoar is a rare condition, which is easily diagnosed in a suggestive setting. We report the case of a 12 year old female patient with a history of trichophagia, who was admitted to hospital with a large epigastric mass. Imaging was performed, including ultrasound, an unprepared abdomen and an abdominal CT scan, which revealed heterogeneous lesions occupying the entire stomach, not taking contrast and appearing independent of the gastric wall. The aim of our work is to show the interest of imaging in the positive diagnosis of trichobezoar as well as its extension to the gastrointestinal tract and the postoperative control.
