This paper reports the first case of the removal of an ingested fishbone from the uterus. A 77-year-old woman presented with a 3-day history of lower abdominal pain. An abscess-like lesion in the posterior wall of the uterus was revealed by transvaginal ultrasonography and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. Moreover, a curvilinear calcium density in the anterior uterine wall was revealed by abdominal computed tomography. A recto-sigmoidal perforation and uterine abscess were suspected. Thus, hysteroscopic drainage of the abscess was performed. Hysteroscopy revealed a fishbone partially embedded in the myometrium. Its removal resulted in full recovery. This study believed that adhesions between the uterus and rectosigmoid colon after partial gastrectomy for gastric cancer may have limited abdominal symptoms by limiting the leakage of intestinal fluids. Although rare, it should be considered that migration of a fishbone into the uterus could occur.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is common in critical practice. Thankfully, most of these objects will pass without complications; however, sharp and metallic objects can cause severe complications like ulcers and perforation. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract is rare; however, once it happens, prompt treatment is needed to prevent dreadful complications.

Foreign body ingestion of fishbones is a very common complaint where most foreign bodies travel safely through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) without any serious complications. However, its clinical presentation is nonspecific, and its clinical severity can vary widely, thus requiring the use of conservative and or invasive treatment modalities. In this case report, we present a case of a 42-year-old female who reported eating fish two days prior to presenting with upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) foreign body impaction in addition to a lower GIT micro-perforation secondary to fishbone ingestion, both of which were successfully managed with conservative, nonsurgical treatment modalities.

The incidence of pyogenic liver abscesses (PLAs) resulting from foreign body ingestion is relatively rare; however, it poses significant risks, necessitating timely diagnosis and intervention. This report presents an unusual case involving a 77-year-old female who developed a PLA following the ingestion of a fishbone. The patient was accurately diagnosed using high-resolution computed tomography-based three-dimensional reconstruction and subsequently underwent successful treatment through laparoscopic incision, drainage, and simultaneous removal of the fishbone.
