Case Presentation: The patient has a history of peptic ulcer disease and regularly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs over the counter, adding more evidence to the provisional diagnosis of duodenal perforation.

Article Synopsis
  • Accidental foreign body (FB) ingestion is frequent in the elderly, especially among those without teeth or wearing dentures, with common FBs being food items like chicken and fish bones.
  • Large or irregularly shaped FBs often lead to serious complications, although a rare case is discussed where a chicken bone was ingested without the patient experiencing typical symptoms like choking or pain.

An 86 year old male with a four-day history of nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms was found on colonoscopy to have evidence of sigmoid colon obstruction and possible perforation. Emergent operative exploration revealed diffuse peritonitis, sigmoid perforation, adjacent dense adhesions, and a foreign body protruding through the perforated area. Pathologic examination showed the foreign body to be a sliver of bone consistent with chicken bone and the sigmoid subacute perforation to be associated distally with a circumferential ulcerated obstructing mass, microscopically seen to be transmurally infiltrating adenocarcinoma, signet-ring cell type.
