Patient L.M. N, 67 years old, was admitted to the hospital in a state of subdued epigastric pain lasting about 3 weeks, accompanied by abdominal distension.
After examination, doctors of the Department of Gastroenterology, Bai Chay Hospital prescribed digestive endoscopy.
Endoscopy results revealed that in the patient's stomach there was a large, hard accumulated food waste mass, about 4x6cm in size. The waste mass existed for a long time and caused ulcer damage at the small curvature of the stomach.
The intervention team proceeded to dissect and completely remove the food waste through endoscopy.
Due to the large size and solid nature of the sebaceous cyst, doctors had to operate carefully to remove the entire sebaceous cyst, without affecting the stomach lining.
After intervention, patients avoid a complex surgical surgery.
Doctors said that food waste in the stomach is often easily formed in people with poor chewing ability such as losing teeth, people who eat a lot of fiber-rich, indigestible foods such as bamboo shoots, persimmons; people who have undergone stomach amputation surgery or have stomach acid reflux. If accumulated for a long time, the waste can cause stomach ulcers, digestive bleeding or intestinal obstruction.
