Core Tip	This case provides clinicians with a unique insight on how a patient with a fishbone induced upper gastrointestinal microperforation can mimic the lower gastrointestinal symptoms commonly seen in acute appendicitis. It highlights the difficulty that the team faced with the diagnosis and management of such pathology and provides clinicians with an alternative differential diagnosis that can be considered in this specific patient group. Additionally, it serves to remind clinicians about the importance of accurate radiological imaging and the potential of observer error (particularly that of the satisfaction-of-search error) that can occur when managing patients with seemingly straightforward presentations.
