Foreign body ingestion seen in adults usually occurs in psychiatric patients. We report a case of abundant foreign body ingestion of a 31-year-old, psychiatric male patient who was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Foreign bodies were detected on abdominal X-ray. Following gastrotomy, 179 nails and 2 coins were taken out of the stomach. Since the patient had a giant benign ulcer located at the lesser curvature, a subtotal gastrectomy was performed. He recovered uneventfully and was discharged without symptoms.
Keywords: Foreign body ingestion
