Ingested foreign bodies are mostly spontaneously passed out in the feces. However sharp, long, solid foreign bodies such as sewing needles could cause life-threatening complications. We report a 34 years old female patient with history of two sewing needle ingestion eight years ago. Radio logic images revealed that one of the needles had immigrated to the liver, one impacted the ascenden colon. They were removed via laparotomy with a successful preoperative localization. Foreign bodies which can't be self-extruded and unremoved via laparoendoscopy should be removed with laparotomy after proper localization since they could cause life-threatening complications.
