Gluteal Abscess Secondary to Rectal Perforation Due to Ingested Foreign Body: A Report of Two Cases

Gastrointestinal abscesses are commonly caused by infection and inflammatory and, in rare cases, malignant bowel conditions. This paper reports two cases of rectum/gluteal abscesses due to an ingested foreign body. The goal of this case report is to highlight the need to raise suspicion of foreign body ingestion in the setting of a gluteal abscess with a foreign body that may have caused rectal perforation and subsequent gluteal abscess formation.
