A 45-year-old Libyan male presented to the gastroenterology outpatient clinic with non-specific abdominal pain. After the initial diagnostic investigative imaging, he proceeded to undergo laparotomy in which a large mass was found adjacent to jejunum. The surgery confirmed the preoperative diagnosis of an intra-abdominal collection caused by extra- intestinal fishbone migration reported by ultrasonography and CT of the abdomen.

Key-words:

Fish bone - Foreing body - Laparotomy
