Bezoars constitute a compacted collection of undigested or partially digested material, potentially leading to intestinal obstruction. They most frequently occur in the stomach, with classification based on their composition. Many gastric bezoars are asymptomatic and frequently manifest in patients with gastrointestinal disturbances or psychiatric issues. We present a rare case of a bezoar related to occupational exposure that illustrates the least-discussed health risks associated with certain jobs.
