Abstract

Stomach stones are in the form of hair tumors — Trichobezoar, in the formation of which hairs that accidentally enter the stomach take part. Imperceptibly swallowed hairs accumulate in the stomach and sometimes form huge tumors. Professor Mysh V.M. observed a hairy tumor of the stomach of colossal size - 32×13 cm and weighing 2800 g.
