Aim: Verruca vulgaris is a common skin disease among children. Foreign object mimicking a wart is unusual.
Methods: A report of a 6-year-old boy with foreign object misdiagnosed as verruca vulgaris.
Results: Ultrasound was used to locate and mark the foreign object pre-operatively. Surface and infiltration anesthesia combination was used before removing the foreign object within 5 min. The patient was followed up 1.5 months post-operatively; the wound was healed without obvious scar.
Conclusions: Compared to dermatoscopy, ultrasound has advantages in diagnosing foreign objects. Preoperative ultrasound can provide useful information for identifying and removing foreign objects.

Insertion of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is generally regarded as a safe procedure, with low rates of complications. However, when complications do arise, they can pose significant challenges to both patients and surgeons. Patient optimization and adherence to specific intraoperative protocols are crucial in mitigating the risk of surgical complications.

Eggshell recognition in parental birds is vital for nest management, defense against brood parasitism, optimal embryonic development, and minimizing disease and predation risks. This process relies on acceptance thresholds balancing the risk of rejecting own eggs against the benefit of excluding foreign ones, following signal detection theory. We investigated the role of object shape in egg rejection decisions among three host species of the brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater), each with a varying known response to parasitic eggs.
