Abstract :
We report the case of an 18-year-old man with a needle-like foreign body embedded in the
liver. The foreign body was found in the RUQ on the plain abdominal x-ray obtained for further
evaluation of a previous ingested foreign body. Computed tomography confirmed the
diagnosis. The patient was asymptomatic but surgery was performed and the needle was
removed. Surgery confirmed the diagnosis.
