Abstract
Bezoars are rare entities in medical science. Basically, they are of four types: trichobezoars; phytobezoars, pharmacobezoars, and lactobezoars. Some rare types of bezoars are also known. In this article a unique case of plastic bezoars is presented. It was diagnosed preoperatively by esophagogastroduodenoscopy and was removed surgically. The literature on this case is briefly revised.
