This material is commonly located in the stomach. Human bezoars may be formed by non-digestible plant fibers (phytobezoars), persimmons (diospyrobezoar), hair (trichobezoar), long-acting medications (pharmacobezoar), milk and mucus components (lactobezoar), or other various substances. This condition may be asymptomatic, or it may cause symptoms such as stomachache, ulcers, bleeding, perforation, gastric outlet obstruction, and mechanical intestinal obstruction.
