A sixteen year old girl was admitted in the hospital with a history of continuous pain and vomiting since five days. She has similar complaints intermitantly since five years. Other medical history, serum biochemistry and mental status were normal. On physical examination, a nontender mass was found in the epigastrium. Abdominal Ultrasound showed a dilated stomach filled with large ill defined mass with mixed echogenicity. Endoscopy showed a mass with entangled hair and stucked food particles. At laparotomy a large hair ball completely filling the stomach and entending to first part of duodenum is removed. The patient had a satisfactory post operative convalescence.Keywords
