Stomach, Glandular Stomach - Foreign body

comment:
Hair ( Figure 1

recommendation:
A primary foreign body should be diagnosed but not graded. If a foreign body causing a significant inflammatory response, then both the foreign body and inflammation are diagnosed. In the case illustrated above, both the foreign body (hair) and the inflammation (granulomatous) should be diagnosed. A foreign body such as hair or feed material that is passively adhered to an ulcerated surface should not be diagnosed separately; it can be described in the narrative.references:
