Case Discussion
Metal density opacity is noted in the midline pelvis - a trouser button.
It appears to be a mimic of foreign body. However, all clothing was removed before taking the radiograph. There was also a definite history of ingestion.
It is a true foreign body in the distal colon/rectum, not a mimic.
