Abstract
The perforation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by fish bone is rare, with a percentage rate of 1%. Surgical intervention is necessary in less than 1% of cases. We report a case of a 55-year-old male patient who was admitted for a rectus sheath abscess caused by perforation of the small bowel by a fish bone. He was treated surgically. Diagnosing perforation secondary to fish bone ingestion poses challenges due to its presentation.
