Fragmented phytobezoar: polypectomy snare was used to fragmentize the bezoar.

Angeles grade A esophagitis with cardial incontinence was also found as an extra finding. A 30-mm polypectomy snare was used to fragmentize the bezoar into smaller pieces (Fig. 3), with complete dissolution and without any complication.
