- Hide Abstract
An 81-year-old woman was hospitalized after two weeks of abdominal pain and a mass in the lower right abdominal wall. Ultrasonography showed what was interpreted as a malignant tumour. However, a computer tomography displayed an abscess in the abdominal wall and inflammation in nearby small intestinal loops. Subsequently, a laparoscopy was performed and an 8-cm-long toothpick penetrating from the small intestine into the abdominal wall causing the abscess was found. The patient did not recall ingesting the toothpick.
