Abstract
Ingested foreign bodies may lead to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a 14-month-old boy who presented with an unusual abdominal mass secondary to ingesting a foreign body 4 months previously. Abdominal computerized tomography scan was valuable in making this diagnosis.Keywords
