Phytobezoars are solid masses of indigestible plant material and are a common type of gastrointestinal bezoar, with varying incidences globally. These bezoars typically form from the ingestion of high-fiber fruits and vegetables and are associated with factors such as decreased gastric acid production and delayed gastric emptying.
