Pseudotumoural gastric lesion caused by fish bone perforationDOI: 10.3941/jrcr.v3i1.69 Keywords: fish bone , perforation , stomach , gastric Abstract: We report the case of a 34-year-old previously fit and healthy male who presented to the accident & emergency department with non-specific abdominal pain. The patient proceeded to undergo laparotomy at which a large mass was found adjacent to the stomach. The impression at surgery was of a lymphoma or gastric carcinoma though CT had reported the likelihood of a fish bone or foreign body causing duodenal perforation. Histology later confirmed the presence of a fish bone surrounded by reactive tissue.
