Abstract : A rare case of liver abscess due to secondary bacterial infection due to foreign body penetration into stomach wall reported in this case. Presented with less severe clinical features and non-specific features of acute abdomen .Liver abscess caused by foreign body is rare. The contrast-enhanced CT (computed tomography)of the abdomen and the minimally invasive abdominal operation both played critical roles in the diagnosis and treatment of the case. The general population, who mistakenly eat fish bones, should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
