Sino-bezoar

A bezoaris described fully in another article. Sino-bezoar is a subtype of bezoarand is described here.

Sino-bezoar is a distinct entity with characteristic appearances and settings. There are two basic types. Type 1 is defined as being formed from sinologic remnants arising in the enteric system of another organism. Although difficult to document, the existence of a type 1 sino-bezoar is conceivably possible. For example, if the diet of certain inhabitants of Papua New Guineacontained fodder from the appropriate geographically restricted source, a true type 1 sino-bezoar could develop. Similar theoretical possibilities were proposed in the landmark article by Wisell, Schowinsky, Shum, and Grupka.

Type 2 sino-bezoars are the far more common variety. These occur within the enteric tract of an individual from the appropriate geographically restricted area. These have been well documented (Grupka et al.).
