Human hair is resistant to digestion and peristalsis therefore over time it accumulates in the gastric folds. Trichophagia and trichotillomania is a psychiatric disorder in which the affected person has the tendency to pull her or his own hair and ingest it. The condition is almost exclusively seen in females.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 48-year-old lady presented for the last 6 months with epigastric pain, early satiety and weight loss. There are episodic attacks of vomiting. Abdominal examination showed a large, 30 cm \u00d7 15 cm, firm, oval shaped mass occupying the left hypochondrial region and extending below the umbilicus. The mass was mobile from side to side but not from up and down it has smooth surface. The mass was non pulsatile. The CT scan of the abdomen was taken and it showed a large oval mass with interspersed gas. Endoscopy showed a huge ball of hair occupying the whole gastric cavity and extending to the upper part of the duodenum. During laparotomy a huge hair mass extracted from the stomach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trichobezoar is an extremely rare condition that may be encountered during the surgical practice, high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose the condition and endoscopy is still the gold standard method for investigation and diagnosis.
