Abstract

A six-year-old boy sustained an accidental penetrating missile injury to his chest. Imaging studies revealed a metallic foreign body lodged between the pulmonary infundibulum and the right atrium of the heart. No cardiovascular compromise was produced. Surgical exploration was not required. The foreign body remained stable and non-migratory over a 16-month follow-up period.
