The authors present the clinical case of a 14-year old girl with weight loss, anorexia, epigastric abdominal pain and postprandial vomiting with 5 months duration. There was a background of trichophagia for 2 years without evidence of alopecia or psychiatric history. The physical examination revealed an epigastric mass motionless, stony, with poorly defined limits, painful on palpation and about 7 cm diameter. Abdominal ultrasonography showed thickening of the gastric wall and antrum with gastric distension. The abdominal tomography scan and endoscopic examination revealed the presence of a bulky trichobezoar occupying almost the entire gastric lumen. It was decided to undergo gastrotomy and extraction of the bezoar. The postoperative period was uneventful. Apresentamos o caso clínico de uma adolescente de 14 anos com emagrecimento, anorexia, epigastralgia e vómitos pós-prandiais com 5 meses de evolução. Apurou-se história de tricofagia com 2 anos de evolução mas sem áreas de alopécia ou antecedentes psiquiátricos. Apresentava massa epigástrica imóvel, pétrea, de limites mal definidos, dolorosa à palpação e com cerca de 7 cm de diâmetro. A ecografia abdominal mostrou espessamento da parede gástrica e do antro com distensão gástrica. Realizou tomografia abdominal e endoscopia digestiva alta que revelaram a presença de volumoso tricobezoar ocupando quase a totalidade do lúmen gástrico. Foi decidido realizar gastrotomia e extração do bezoar. O pós-operatório decorreu sem incidentes.
