Although most of ingested foreign bodies pass through gastrointestinal tract uneventfully, rarely the foreign body may penetrate out of gastrointestinal tract and may migrate to other abdominal organs. Migration of a foreign body to the liver is extremely rare and very few pediatric cases have been reported in the literature. Two cases of needle ingestion, one of which migrated to liver and the other penetrated to omentum, were reported in this paper and the cases were managed laparoscopically with the aid of fluoroscopy. The aim of the study is to emphasize that surgeons dealing with non-progressive foreign bodies shouldn't hesitate on the decision of surgery, especially in centers where laparoscopy is widely available.
