The bezoa per se is not confined to surgical entity, but we always face to surgical exploration when it associates with severe subjective symptoms such as sizable mass, pain, constant indigestion and vomiting, or probalbe gastric ulcer(s).
We experienced a bezoa case with associated gastric ulcers at Dept. of General Surgery, St. Vincent Hospital in Su Won, who underwent surgical removal plus subtotal gastrectomy. Posto.peratively the patient was recovered uneventfully, and returned to normal activty after a month
