Abstract

Detection of wooden foreign body represents a clinical challenge. Wood is typically radiolucent, so wooden foreign bodies are generally cannot be seen on survey radiography. Failure to locate and remove foreign bodies can lead the patient to the long-term secondary inflammatory reactions or infections. The dog described in the present report ingested a wooden foreign body(cotton swab stick) a year ago. The foreign body remained in the intestinal tracts which were attached to each other due to the prior abdominal operation. The wooden piece in the intestine functioned as a nidus and inorganic matters were gathered forming calculus on the outer layer of foreign body. In the radiograph, the foreign body appeared to be a chicken bone which of it's inner area was more radiolucent than the outer layer. Because the wooden foreign bodies that have remained for long time in the intestinal tract can be seen like a bone by mineralization, the diagnosis of the wooden foreign bodies should be done prudently.
