Abstract

A 74-year-old woman visited our hospital because of periumbilical abdominal pain and redness of the skin. An abdominal abscess due to a fish bone was diagnosed preoperatively based on the computed tomography. An omental abscess was found and partial resection of the omentum was performed in an emergency operation. A bone fish was identified in the abscess. The perforation site was not identified, but it was believed that the fish bone had penetrated from the transverse colon into the omentum. The patient was discharged 7 days after the operation without event.
