Abstract
1. 1. Another case of foreign body (fish bone) perforation of Meckel's diverticulum has been reported. 2. 2. The literature on this subject has again been reviewed and our case was found to be the twenty-sixth reported case of foreign body perforation of Meckel's diverticulum, and the seventeenth case due to a fish bone. 3. 3. Diagnosis and treatment are discussed. 4. 4. Foreign body perforation of Meckel's diverticulum is a rare disease in comparison to the one which it most frequently simulates, that is, appendicitis. A careful search for Meckel's diverticulum should always be made at the time of surgery if gross pathologic findings are not evident in the appendix.
