ABSTRACT Foreign bodies’ (FBs) ingestion is a common problem among children and the psychologically deranged. Ingested FBs usually pass through the alimentary tract without any incident. They can rarely be placed in the appendix and may cause problems. Here we report a case of an appendectomy with no signs of inflammation indicated for a sharp metallic foreign body trapped in the appendix of a 13-year-old Syrian girl. The diagnosis was made through serially abdominal X-rays and abdominal ultrasound.
