[Abdominal parietal abscess secondary to the absorption of a knife by a mental patient, Treichville University Hospital, Côte d'Ivoire].

Case Report: We present the successful management of the consequences of voluntary knife ingestion in a 24-year-old male with undocumented psychiatric disorders. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with a fistulized epigastric skin abscess, with the tip of a knife protruding from it. This extraordinary case involved the migration of an ingested knife, which perforated the stomach and externalized through an epigastric abscess.

Abdominal parietal metastasis on operative scar of gastric adenocarcinoma after R0 resection: An unusual location (about a case).

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in Ivory Coast, and is the third cause of cancer death. Parietal metastasis is extremely rare and are distinguished by their relatively poor prognosis with a median survival not exceeding 7 months.

Observation: We report the case of a 73-year-old male patient who presented 5 months after a partial R0 lower polar gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma, a single cutaneous metastasis at the level of the laparotomy incision.
