Foreign body ingestion is a frequent issue in paediatrician's practice. Foreign bodies often pass the gastro-intestinal tract spontaneously but can sometimes generate complications (1% of the cases). The migration of ingested foreign bodies is rare, but their spontaneous extrusion through the skin is even rarer and was previously described only in the neck. We report an unusual case of a spontaneous extrusion of an ingested foreign body through the skin of the lower abdomen. Observation: A 2 year-old boy, presented with a 2cm inflammatory swelling of the hypogastric region. Laboratory analysis showed hyperleukocytosis (16 7770 /mm3) and high C reactive protein level at 12mg/L. Ultrasonography and computed tomography allowed us to diagnose a parietal foreign body extruding through the skin and to eliminate associated complication (perforation, vascular fistula…). The foreign body was extracted by a surgical incision. This observation is very rare but it is also uncommon because of the nature of the ingested foreign body which was a wooden piece. Its ingestion was explained by a paediatric mental disorder.
