Gastrointestinal Neoplasm

Most foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract uneventful. We report of a case of inadvertently ingested foreign body, which by endoscopy simulated a polyp and on biopsy reported as cancer, so the patient underwent an unnecessary major operation. This report emphasizes the importance of resemblance of foreign bodies with gastrointestinal neoplasm, and endoscopists, surgeons and pathologists should consider this entity in their daily practice.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is common in clinical practice. Most ingested foreign bodies will pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without any problems. While GI tract injury due to the ingested foreign body such as a toothpick, a fishbone, a date pit, or a chicken bone, is common, duodenal perforation is rare. In this report, our experience with this rare entity is shared. We present a 38-year-old male patient with GI tract perforation in the bulbus of the duodenum due to a leg of glasses. The patient was admitted to our hospital with severe abdominal pain. Right upper quadrant tenderness was detected at physical examination, and leukocytosis on the laboratory test results. Plain X-ray and computerized tomography showed an ingested foreign body in the bulbus of the duodenum. A leg of glasses perforating the duodenum was removed with endoscopy. The patient was managed nonoperatively, and discharged without any complications on the eighth day after endoscopy. Endoscopic removal and nonoperative management may be feasible in carefully selected patients with duodenal-perforating foreign bodies.

Foreign body ingestion is a common presentation in clinical practice, seen predominantly in children. Most foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without any additional morbidity. We present a case of gastric perforation secondary to the ingestion of a small plastic bag. We discuss the likely pathophysiological process underlying perforation secondary to plastic bag ingestion, which is most commonly associated with the concealment of narcotics.

AbstractForeign body ingestions often consist of benign objects that will readily pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without necessitating further intervention. There are various reports in the literature about intentional ingestion of foreign bodies in prisoners and body packers, which required intervention. We present a case of 44-year-old male with a history of intentional ingestion of 30 gold pellets as a carrier from Dubai to India. The pellets were successfully retrieved by upper GI endoscopy after 1-week of observation and unsuccessful attempts of conservative trial. There have been many foreign body extractions but gold retrieval has been a rare case.

The accidental ingestion of a foreign body into the gastrointestinal tract is not uncommon, but the vast majority of foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract uneventfully within a week. Less than 1% of patients with foreign body ingestion develop complications such as perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. The migration of an ingested foreign body may result in chronic inflammation, a silent clinical course, and radiological features suggestive of a neoplasm. The authors report a case of chicken bone perforation of the gastric wall that leads to hepatic abscess formation and thereafter to submucosal pseudotumor of the gastric wall treated with totally laparoscopic management. Usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography for a correct diagnosis is also stressed.

Esophageal Foreign Bodies

ABSTRACT Aspiration or ingestion of a foreign body is well-known in the pediatric as well as in the adult population. The majority of esophageal foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without causing complications. However, large sharp foreign bodies like dentures and meat bones can get deeply embedded in the wall leading to life-threatening complications. We report a case of a neglected denture in a 55-year-old patient who presented with an unusual complaint as hoarseness of voice and was removed with the help of rigid esophagoscope.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">An estimated 40 percent of foreign body ingestions in children are not witnessed, and in many cases, the child never develops symptoms. Sharp foreign body, button battery must be carefully removed and followed up for any complications. Foreign bodies that have passed the gastroesophageal junction should be assured that the foreign body will probably pass through the GI tract. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">A retrospective analysis of the records of the children below 12 years with foreign body ingestions were analysed and the radio-opaque foreign body were included in the study period between March 2012 to March 2015. The x-ray were analysed, type of foreign body, treatment and complications were noted.  </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">There were 45 children included in the study who had ingested foreign body and on radiological evaluation radio opaque foreign body was found. The coin topped the list with 30, button battery- 7 numbers, safety pin- 5 numbers. In 2 children who ingested button battery suffered cricopharyngeal stricture, which was treated with serial dilatation with bougies, while one child with open safety pin ingestion, developed pseudo- aneurysm of arch of aorta and one ear stud developed stridor with sub glottic stenosis. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">The radio opaque foreign though is easy to visualise, but in some case it can dangerous complications.

 The pica phenomenon is common in patients with behavioral and developmental disorders, particularly autism. Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal system spontaneously and without complication. Small bowel obstruction is an uncommon complication of ingested foreign body. Herein, we present the case of an autistic child who was operated for peritonitis due to an unusual foreign body.

Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract by ingested foreign body is rare. The majority of patients do not recall ingestion of the foreign body, and dietary foreign bodies are most commonly involved. We present an interesting case where the offending foreign body gave rise to a diagnostic dilemma masquerading as a pancreatic mass. A high index of suspicion is indicated especially when dealing with atypical presentation and nonspecific symptoms as highlighted in this case.

In children, foreign bodies of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are common, 80-90% of them pass through the GIT without any problem. However, in some cases the clinical picture of peritonitis, intestinal obstruction, bleeding develops, which requires surgical treatment. Described in the article the clinical observation of acute intestinal obstruction in an 11-month-old child, after he has swallowed a hydrogel ball, will be useful for practicing pediatric surgeons.

Ingested Foreign Body

Most ingested foreign bodies usually pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract. Few may cause complications and require surgical interventions. We report a 1.5-year-old child who ingested hair clip and presented with vomiting and obstruction. At operation, we found duodenal and colonic perforations. Hair clip was removed with repair of perforations.
