AB  - The  literature  is  replete  with  case  reports  of  genitourinary  foreign  bodies.  A  1932  case  report  of  a  pencil  inserted  into  the  penis  describes  genitourinary  foreign  bodies  as  “not  so  infrequent.”1  It  is  difficult  to  estimate  the  incident  given  the  broad  variety  of  anatomic  locations  and  their  frequent  presence  as  ancillary  complaints  to  a  greater  issue  (e.g.,  an  assault  or  psychiatric  emergency).  A  tremendous  variety  of  genitourinary  foreign  bodies  present  to  the  Emergency  Department.  Genitourinary  foreign  body  insertion  is  typically  iatrogenic,  self-inflicted,  or  traumatic.2-9  The  location  of  foreign  bodies  can  be  categorized  by  location  (e.g.,  external,  subcutaneous,  vaginal,  and  within  the  urethra  or  bladder).  Foreign  bodies  that  are  easily  visualized  can  often  be  handled  in  the  Emergency  Department.  Those  that  are  complicated  or  can  only  be  appreciated  by  imaging  are  typically  more  suitable  for  removal  in  the  Operating  Room.
