A 27-year-old male patient was admitted for renal colic. In the radiographic findings of his kidney-ureter-bladder, a 6-cm-long sewing needle was detected in the right upper abdominal region. The needle displayed a direction toward the diaphragm, and the center of the needle had a radiolucent discontinuity. He refused to be operated. No complication was observed during the 6-year follow-up. Foreign bodies in the liver are generally recommended to be removed. This case is the first one in the literature with a needle in the liver remaining for 6 years without a change of location or causing a complication.
一位 27 岁男性患者因肾绞痛入院。在他的肾脏-输尿管-膀胱的放射学检查结果中，在右上腹部发现了一根长 6 厘米的缝衣针。这根针指向膈肌的方向，针的中心有一个不透明的中断。他拒绝接受手术。在 6 年的随访中没有观察到并发症。一般建议取出肝脏内的异物。本例是文献中首例肝脏内的针状物在 6 年内位置未变且未引起并发症的病例。
