Osseous metaplasia is defined by the presence of heterotopic normal bone tissue in a soft tissue. Metaplastic ossification is a rare event in nasal polyps. The authors describe a rare case of bone formation in nasal polyp of a 28-year-old man with chronic right-sided nasal obstruction without history of trauma or allergy symptoms. To our knowledge, this finding has been reported in a few cases in the English medical literature.

A phytobezoar is a concreted mass of undigested plant materials trapped in the gastrointestinal system and mostly in the stomach. A diospyrobezoar is a type of phytobezoar and is a rare condition; it is due to unripe persimmon ingestion. In this case, report, we recount the experience of a 26-year-old man who presented signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis, which was later diagnosed as a gastric diospyrobezoar. An appendectomy was done, but the symptoms were not resolved. This gastric phytobezoar was successfully removed through gastrotomy after a failed attempt in endoscopic fragmentation and removal. This report provides an overview of bezoars in patients with acute abdominal pain. A careful history with an emphasis on recent diet can be of great help in the diagnosis of similar cases.
