Ultrasound and CT revealed a foreign body and inflammatory encapsulation in the abdominal cavity. Laparoscopic and open surgeries were performed, revealing a full-thickness gastric wall perforation approximately 2\u2005mm in diameter on the greater curvature side of the stomach, which was in contact with the abscess and contained purulent fluid and short hair approximately 1.5\u2005cm long. The intraoperative diagnosis was hair-induced gastric perforation, leading to intra-abdominal foreign body inflammatory granuloma. Granuloma excision, gastric perforation repair, and partial transverse colon resection were performed. Postoperative pathological results revealed a gastric perforation with surrounding acute and chronic inflammation, and the diagnosis was a reactive fibrous granulomatous lesion. The patient recovered well after surgery, and follow-up for one year revealed no significant abnormalities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hair-induced gastric perforation leading to a foreign body granuloma formation is a rare disease.
