NCBI ROFL: Rectal salami.

It's case study flashback week on NCBI ROFL! All this week we'll be featuring some of our favorite medical case studies from the archives. Enjoy! "We present the case of a 63-year-old man who had inserted a salami into his anal canal for sexual stimulation–the commonest reason for inserting foreign bodies–and who subsequently required a laparotomy for its removal. This common surgical problem requires a thorough medical history, an examination and the use of radiographs for management. Current techniques for removal of such objects are discussed.”
