Bezoars represent a rare cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO). Nonoperative management of bezoars includes use of endoscopy with mechanical or chemical dissolution methods. When obstruction persists, surgical intervention becomes necessary. Here, we present the case of an Asian woman with a SBO secondary to a phytobezoar masquerading as a malignancy. She presented with two days of acute-on-chronic abdominal pain that started after eating seaweed. Initial computed tomography (CT) scan showed a SBO with a jejunal transition point and ill-defined liver lesions, worrisome for a malignant obstruction with liver metastases. Further imaging, however, showed the resolution of these artifacts. Subsequent laparotomy revealed a small bowel loop with copious obstructing seaweed. A distal stricture was palpated, and the involved segment was resected. Intraoperative liver ultrasound was negative, and final pathology revealed benign small intestine with a mild stricture. Given the rarity of bezoar-related obstructions, the diagnosis is often delayed particularly when confounding factors exist such as our patient's concomitant hepatic findings. Contrast-enhanced CT has a high sensitivity but a lower specificity in identifying bezoars. A high index of suspicion is therefore necessary especially when managing higher risk patients.
