Core Tip	A fecaloma can potentially cause intestinal obstruction or perforation. Reduced colonic peristaltic activity is present in systemic scleroderma and can lead to the formation of fecalomas, which are typically treated by surgery. Jumbo forceps, which have larger cups than standard capacity biopsy forceps, can collect large samples and have increased efficacy in diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of fecaloma cured by endoscopic fragmentation with jumbo forceps.
