AbstractAlthough foreign body ingestion is a common problem in children, it is also seen among adults. Perforation of the gut by a foreign body, followed by migration of the foreign body to the liver is quite rare. Most fish bone ingestions have uneventful outcome. However, occasionally, it can cause serious complications if the gastrointestinal tract is perforated. Herein, a case of liver abscess caused by a fish bone is reported. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first case in our country.
