X-ray of the abdomen shows a large amount of fecal material throughout the colon with rectal impaction.

Abdominal X-ray showed significant amount of fecal material noted throughout the colon with rectal impaction and no evidence of small bowel obstruction (Figure 1).
Abdominal X-ray after disimpaction demonstrates a slightly ill-defined rounded density measuring 3.5 x 4 cm with an irregular appearing rim-like calcification seen in the pelvis, consistent with a fecaloma with a rim of calcification.

This finding was confirmed by a low-dose computed tomography scan of the pelvis (Figures 2 and 3).
Computed tomography scan of the pelvis shows a slightly irregular shaped rounded 3-cm sized rim calcified fecaloma in the rectum at the S3-S4 level surrounded by fecal material.
