A 65-year-old man had for some time noticed rounded elements in his faeces. It was examined for parasites, which were, however, not detected. A specimen was then sent to a department of pathology. The specimen consisted of a rounded and collapsed process, 12 mm in diameter. It was quite thin-walled and hollow; the wall itself was tough and not elastic and classified as non-biological material. It was concluded that it was probably a capsule of medicine, dietary supplements, oil or a similar substance. The patient had eaten fish oil in capsules, and they had apparently not been biodegradable. |
