Abstract
Bezoars are concretions of undigested material in the gastrointestinal tract, and are found in less than 1% of patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Bezoar formation is rare in healthy subjects. Most of the patients who present with bezoar-associated complications have had no gastrointestinal disease. In this report, we present a case with biliary stent-associated bezoar.
