Core Tip	We report an extremely rare case of chronic appendicitis caused by a chicken bone in the appendix. The patient was 35-year-old woman, and had a long-term abdominal pain of unknown cause. Abdominal computed tomography examination suggested foreign bodies in the appendix, and laparoscopic appendectomy was performed. The postoperative specimen revealed chicken bones in the appendix cavity, and histopathological examination confirmed chronic appendicitis with giant cell reaction of foreign bodies. The patient recovered and was followed up for two months without abdominal pain.
