Gastrolithiasis is a condition in which one or more solid substance are present in the stomach that have been formed by several smaller parts. Gastrolithiasis comes from the Greek word "gaster" meaning "a belly," the Greek word "lithos" meaning "stone," and the Greek word "iasis" meaning "condition." Put the words together and you have "a belly stone condition."
