Axial abdominal CT scan showed an ovoid, nonhomogeneous, intraluminal filling defect about 3 cm in size (arrows). CT demonstrates no dilated small bowel loops, and the intraluminal mass with air retained in its interstices, which correspond to the phytobezoar.

Computed tomography with contrast medium revealed an ovoid, nonhomogeneous, intraluminal filling defect about 3 cm in size at the pelvic level inside an ileum ansa (Figures 1  and 2).
Sagittal contrast-enhanced scan shows loops of small bowel containing air and fluid levels suggestive of obstruction and an intraluminal mass with mottled appearance characteristic of bezoar (arrows) confined inside the small bowel at the pelvic level.

Computed tomography with contrast medium revealed an ovoid, nonhomogeneous, intraluminal filling defect about 3 cm in size at the pelvic level inside an ileum ansa (Figures 1  and 2).
Coronal contrasted-enhanced scan shows ovoid intraluminal mass with mottled gas pattern consistent with bezoar (arrows). No dilation proximal to the site of obstruction is present.
