  • Title: "Postgastrectomy" bezoar secondary to gastric cancer.
    Author: Schwab KS, Cheng EH.
    Journal: J Clin Gastroenterol; 1993 Jan; 16(1):45-7. PubMed ID: 8421145.
    Abstract:
    Phytobezoars are frequently associated with partial gastrectomy and are generally considered benign. However, we report two patients who developed a gastric bezoar due to malignancy at the anastomotic site. Development of intragastric bezoar may be an indication of neoplastic growth sufficient to obstruct a small gastric outlet. Consequently, we conclude that endoscopic or surgical evaluation of the anastomotic site is necessary in patients who develop bezoars after gastric surgery.
