Temporal changes in computed tomography findings of a persimmon bezoar: A case report

Gastric bezoars, particularly persimmon bezoars, present diagnostic challenges because of their variable imaging characteristics. Serial CT can document temporal changes in bezoar density, potentially reflecting changes in hardness. Early diagnosis and endoscopic treatment are essential for effective management, particularly in patients with predisposing factors. This case underscores the importance of considering bezoars in the differential diagnosis of gastric masses, and highlights the value of CT for monitoring changes in bezoar characteristics over time.
