Background: Rapunzel syndrome is the rarest form of trichobezoar; a condition in which trichobezoar extends beyond the stomach into the small intestine. It is common among children and young girls with a history of psychiatric illnesses. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl without any history of psychiatric illness, presented with abdominal pain and nonbilious vomiting for 6 months. Clinically she had a non-tender upper abdominal mass which, later at workup, was found to be a trichobezoar. She was surgically managed successfully. Conclusion: Though uncommon, Rapunzel syndrome should be kept in the differential diagnoses especially in a young female patient with features of an upper GI obstruction and a non-tender, palpable epigastric mass.
