An 18-year-old girl was sent to the emergency department due to a traffic accident. A non-contrasted computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen found a focal liver laceration and multiple pearl-like lesions in the stomach and the duodenum. When pearl-like lesions with heterodensities were found in a CT of the abdomen, the bubble tea should be considered as a possible etiology.
