Abstract
A 40-yr-old gentleman presented with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting since 3 weeks. CT scan of the abdomen showed a liver abscess but also a bone penetrating the left lobe of the liver. A 5-cm-long chicken bone was removed endoscopically. He was discharged on day 8 and was asymptomatic 12 months later. Endoscopic retrieval of an extraluminal foreign body causing liver abscess has not been reported previously.Entities:
