چکیده
EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Three cases are reported in which gastric resection according to the Billroth I technique was later followed by symptoms of fullness after meals and vomiting. X-ray examination showed a bezoar-like mass with the radiopacity of soft tissue in the remnant of the stomach in each case. Gastric aspiration produced mucous material which on microscopic examination and culture was found to be swarming with yeasts. The authors discuss the frequency and clinical significance of the condition.
