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. We present a case of a 35-year-old healthy man with recurrent upper abdominal pain, nausea, a rolling ball sensation in the abdominal region, and a history of consuming unripe persimmons.
