Key Words	Bone fragment; Bowel perforation; Anal pain
Core Tip	The ingested bone fragment may cause bowel perforation at any site from the jejunum to anal margin, obstruction and fistula formation. An experienced clinician should suspect such conditions in the presence of some predisposing factors, such as rapid eating and the use of dentures in the elderly, and should consider various surgical options. We report herein two cases, one of bowel perforation and another of anal impaction, both caused by ingested bone fragments. Complications due to ingested bone fragments are not common and preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge and therefore it must be considered in susceptible cases.
