A rare case of presence of unusual foreign body in rectum in homosexual male
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Foreign body in the rectum is rare yet potentially life-threatening condition; fear of social embarrassment causes the patient to delay to seek treatment and even hide the actual history and replace imaging reports, which leads to incorrect diagnosis and eventually the treatment. In this article, we report the case of a 30 years hepatitis B positive, homosexual male who presented to the department with a chief complaint of pain in the lower abdomen and was diagnosed to have foreign body (pestle) in rectum, which was inserted as a part of sexual adventure and deliberate attempt was made by the patient to replace X-ray films with other patients to mislead the treating doctor. Finally, the foreign body was removed urgically and was followed by psychiatric evaluation of the patient.
