Abstrakt:	Unlabelled: A Trichobezoar is a rare tumoral mass of the gastrointestinal tract, formed mainly from the ingestion of hair. It contains also mucus and foods debris. Case Presentation: A 22 years old female with a 10 years history of surgery secondary to gastric foreign body (trichobezoar), presents with abdominal pain, swelling, nausea and vomiting. Physical examination of the abdomen revealed a palpable mass in the epigastric and left upper quadrant regions. It was also noted areas of alopecia of the scalp. Discussion: Ninety percent of the trichobezoars present in females with a high frequency between 10-19 years. The treatment of bezoars (unless small in size) is mainly surgical. A psychiatric evaluation and follow up is important after surgery hence in most cases there is a psychological disorder that lead to the ingestion of hair.
