N2 - Ingestion of foreign bodies is common in critical practice. Thankfully, most of these objects will pass without complications; however, sharp and metallic objects can cause severe complications like ulcers and perforation. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract is rare; however, once it happens, prompt treatment is needed to prevent dreadful complications. We present the case of a 52-year-old patient who presented with abdominal pain and fever. A tomography detected a fishbone perforation of the stomach, which was in the lesser sac attached to the pancreas. After surgery, the patient successfully recovered.
