Small bowel perforation caused by an ingested fish bone is rare but can involve the appendix or Meckel's diverticulum. We report the case of a 25-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with acute abdomen caused by perforation of a Meckel's diverticulum with a fish bone ingested in a Good Friday.
