Foreign bodies are seen in all age groups. Foreign bodies are detected as a result of accidents or abuse. Diabetic neuropathy frequently occur as complications of diabetes. Our patient was a 55 year old female patient admitted to our emergency department with the complaint of insect bites. Atwo mm diameter redness was present on the right hip and a 15 cm needle was observed on the pelvis X-ray. The needle was removed surgically. Careful history and physical examination should be carried out especially in diabetic patients.
