Gastrointestinal complaints may be the presenting symptoms of trichophytobezoar. We report a patient, who had an epigastric lump and enlarged lymph nodes on the left side of the neck, but without any gastrointestinal complaint. The clinical diagnosis suggested lymphoma or gastric cancer with secondary masses in the cervical lymph nodes. The diagnosis ultimately proved to be tubercular lymphadenitis on biopsy and gastric trichophytobezoar on endoscopy and laparotomy.
