Phytobezoars are persistent deposits of non-digestible plant fiber in the digestive tract, usually located in the stomach, although they can migrate to other parts of the intestine. They usually manifest as complete or incomplete intestinal occlusion. The diagnosis is difficult to make preoperatively, being most of the time an intraoperative finding. In case of intestinal topography, surgical treatment is the rule. On the basis of a case and a review of the literature on the subject, we propose a triad that can help the preoperative diagnosis.
