Abstract. Ingestion of foreign body is not uncommon. However, long metallic needles with sharp pointing ends in the second part of the duodenum are rare. Most ingested sharp metallic bodies pass through the digestive tract spontaneously and patients can be managed conservatively. Sometimes, however, complications like perforation occur and surgical treatment becomes necessary. We came across such an interesting case where a patient had ingested two sharp long metallic needles and was asymptomatic. There were no associated complications. The needles could not be retrieved by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and had to be removed by laparotomy.

Key words:  Metallic, foreign body, duodenum
