Abstract

Presence of foreign body in thoracic cavity is very uncommon. Most common causes for the presence of such foreign bodies are traumatic, accidental or iatrogenic. The management involves urgent identication and removal of the foreign body. Surgical extraction using thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) remains the primary management strategy. Herein, we report the case of successful removal of retained foreign body from lung after 4 years of penetrating chest trauma by thoracotomy under intraoperative ultrasonographic guidance.
