ABSTRACT
The authors describe a case of pharmaco-bezoar consisting of ingested cholestyramine which occurred post pancreaticoduodenectomy. Intestinal obstruction by a cholestyramine bezoar is a rare occurrence but is worthy of note in the post-pancreatectomy setting where there is often concomitant use of cholestyramine, proton pump inhibitors, and octreotide.
