Abstract
Foreign bodies which are metallic and sharp-pointed in particular in soft tissue may migrate and lead to some complications. Various methods are applied for detection and removal of these materials. In this report, we present removal of a stuck and broken needle tip from the chest wall with the aid of fluoroscopy. The exact and instantaneous location of radiopaque foreign body can be determined by fluoroscopy. We think that this method may minimize surgical dissection, shorten the duration of the surgical procedure and reduce postoperative morbidity.
