Endoscopic findings vary from diffuse mucosal hyperemia (thickening of gastric folds leading to narrowing of the lumen) to nodular or polypoid lesions. Not much is known about the mechanism of bezoar formation in the nonoperated stomach, but Debakey and Oschner (4) proposed that trichobezoars develop from hair trapped within the gastric folds. There were no dominant masses, and no thickened gastric folds of gastric cancer were seen. |
