[Intestinal trichobezoar: report of a case].
Trichobezoars are rare medical entities that must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with abdominal mass. We describe a case of an unsuspected intestinal trichobezoar in a nine years old girl. The patient presented an acute lower abdominal pain. We found an echogenic abdominal mass in the pelvic sonography. A double contrast barium enema was scheduled and a rapid relief of symptoms during the preparation of it was accomplished with the expulsion of a mass of hair.
