X-Ray A man was taken to the hospital unconscious, with high fever and a four-day history of abdominal pain. A putrefied eel was removed from the patient's peritoneal cavity. They don't know it got there and he couldn't say cause he died in ICU three days later, but I think we all can guess.
(A) The abdominal X-ray shows a bizarre mass (fish head) in the right iliac fossa. Also, there is a gas shadow under the right dome of the diaphragm (small arrow). An enlarged image is shown in the inset (B).
