Mahul

but my dg. bezoar is not so bad.

Dominique Author

Dear Mahul,
You guessed for material in the stomach rather than anomalies associated with the wall; that's great. However, bezoars appear as hyperechoic interfaces (flat to curvilinear in shape, depending on their volume and location)associated with shadowing.
Good work!
