Abstract Stomach foreign bodies take second place after foreign bodies of the esophagus and can be both harmless as well as life-threatening. The shape, size, and time of the swallowed foreign body to get deposited in the specific location determine the type of treatment. The article presents a clinical observation – the stomach wall perforation of fish bones, principles of examination of the patient, computed tomography data and surgical treatment. Keywords: stomach, foreign body, perforation, computed tomography, treatment.

Abstract Background A small percentage of patients with foreign body ingestion develop complications, which have a variety of clinical presentations. Less than 1% of cases require surgical intervention. We present a patient with an abdominal wall abscess resulting from a fish bone that pierced the cecum. The patient was treated laparoscopically. Case presentation A 55-year-old Japanese man presented to our hospital with a complaint of right lower abdominal pain. A physical examination revealed tenderness, swelling, and redness at the right iliac fossa. Computed tomography showed a low-density area with rim enhancement in his right internal oblique muscle and a hyperdense 20 mm-long pointed object in the wall of the adjacent cecum. Based on the findings we suspected an abdominal wall abscess resulting from a migrating ingested fish bone. He was administered antibiotics as conservative treatment, and the abscess was not seen on subsequent computed tomography. Two months after the initial treatment, he presented with the same symptoms, and a computed tomography scan showed the foreign body in the same location as before with the same low-density area. We diagnosed the low-density area as recurrence of the abdominal wall abscess. He underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the foreign body. His appendix, and part of his cecum and the parietal peritoneum that included the foreign body, were resected. He had an uneventful postoperative course, and at 1 year after the surgery, the abdominal wall abscess had not recurred. Conclusions An abdominal wall abscess developed in association with the migration of an ingested fish bone. We suggest that a laparoscopic surgical resection of the portion of the bowel that includes the foreign body is a useful option for selected cases.

Ingestion of a foreign body is not uncommon, but rarely results in perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. The most common sites of perforation are reportedly the narrowest parts of the bowel, and perforation of the right side of the colon is rare. We report herein the case of a 69-year-old man who presented with an 8-week history of right upper abdominal pain. Laboratory data revealed inflammation at the first hospital visit. Computed tomography revealed a hypodense lesion containing a hyperdense foreign body in the abdomen. Intra-abdominal abscess caused by foreign body perforation was diagnosed. After administering antibiotics for 2 weeks, surgery was performed. Symptoms had resulted from perforation of the ascending colon by a fish bone.

Foreign body (FB) aspiration occurs less frequently in adults than in children. Among the complications related to FB aspiration, pneumothorax is rarely reported in adults. Although the majority of FB aspiration cases can be diagnosed easily and accurately by using radiographs and bronchoscopy, some patients are misdiagnosed with endobronchial tumors. We describe a case of airway FB that mimicked an endobronchial tumor presenting with pneumothorax in an adult. A 77-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to pneumothorax and atelectasis of the right upper lobe caused by an endobronchial nodule. A chest tube was immediately inserted to decompress the pneumothorax. Chest computed tomography with contrast revealed an endobronchial nodule that was seen as contrast-enhanced. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed to biopsy the nodule. The bronchoscopy showed a yellow spherical nodule in the right upper lobar bronchus. Rat tooth forceps were used, because the lesion was too slippery to grasp with ellipsoid cup biopsy forceps. The whole nodule was extracted and was confirmed to be a FB, which was determined to be a green pea vegetable. After the procedure, the chest tube was removed, and the patient was discharged without any complications. This case highlights the importance of suspecting a FB as a cause of pneumothorax and presents the possibility of misdiagnosing an aspirated FB as an endobronchial tumor and selecting the appropriate instrument for removing an endobronchial FB.

To identify and localize an intraorbital wooden foreign body is often a challenging radiological issue; delayed diagnosis can lead to serious adverse complications. Preliminary radiographic interpretations are often integrated with computed tomography and magnetic resonance, which play a crucial role in reaching the correct definitive diagnosis. We report on a 40 years old male complaining of pain in the right orbit referred to our hospital for evaluation of eyeball pain and double vision with an unclear clinical history. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance scans supposed the presence of an abscess caused by a foreign intraorbital body, confirmed by surgical findings.

Pencil core granuloma is characterized by a delayed foreign-body reaction against retained fragments of pencil lead. Previous case reports presented pencil core granuloma resembling malignant melanoma, haemangioma, or soft tissue sarcoma. We present a case of pencil core granuloma arising from the palm 25 years after the initial injury. The patient presented a bluish nodule that had been present over 25 years before. The nodule initially measured 5 mm in diameter. However, five years before presentation, it suddenly enlarged to the size of 30 mm during six months. Computed tomography (CT) of the lesion revealed a linear radiopaque structure of 8 mm long with a mass on its distal end. Surgical resection revealed a bluish muddy mass and pencil lead. Histological examination revealed degenerative tissue with calcification surrounded by massive amounts of black granular material in the middle and lower dermis.

Abstract Background Fish bones are the most common aerodigestive foreign bodies found in adults. Most cases of fish bone impaction improve after primary management by emergency physicians with a mirror laryngoscopy using a tongue depressor, before otolaryngologists perform a fiberoptic nasendoscopy. A computed tomography scan usually follows to determine the next step. Studies have recently been concerned about overdoses of radiation from computed tomography. However, clear algorithms remain unavailable for fish bone ingestion management to date. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 180 patients who visited the emergency department with complaints of fish bone impaction between January 2017 and January 2019. Results A total of 81.6% of patients with fish bone impaction got symptomatic relief after primary management by emergency physicians and otolaryngologists. Out of 180 patients, 33 (18.3%) needed an endoscopic procedure due to persistent symptoms. Only one (0.56%) required an operation due to perforation. In the group failing primary management, the plain radiography of eight patients showed a positive finding and an esophagogastroscopy was done to remove the fish bones. Conclusion Lateral neck radiography is still beneficial to patients with fish bone ingestion failure from primary management. Positive lateral soft tissue radiography in cases with persistent symptoms post primary management may directly suggest esophagogastroscopy without confirmation from a computed tomography, unless complications are suspected. For patients aged below 40, following up on their conditions after post management radiography shows negative results may increase their safety.
