BACKGROUND: Body piercing is increasing and so are its complications. We describe a case in which the female partner of an individual who had penile piercing was affected. CASE: A young female presented to the emergency department with the possibility of a lost/missing foreign body in the vagina. Her partner had had a "Prince Albert" type of penile piercing, which was found to be missing after sexual intercourse. Prince Albert penile piercing is a metallic bead, which is anchored to the urethral opening. On clinical examination, the bead was not found in the vagina but was seen on pelvic X-ray. A thorough sexual history resolved the mystery of the missing Prince Albert. CONCLUSION: Our case suggests that the gynecologist should be aware of the practice of genital piercing and stresses the importance of proper sexual history taking.

Children and mini-magnets: an almost fatal attraction.
Children imitating adults often appear to indulge in harmless fun, however at times these activities have more serious implications. The recent fashion of body piercing among adults has encouraged children to have similar procedures or imitate them by applying small magnets to sustain the jewellery used in piercing in position. This paper describes a series of 24 cases presented to the Sheffield Children's Hospital over a period of eight weeks. The children imitated body piercing by using small powerful magnets across parts of their body including nose, ears, penis, and tongue. Some swallowed the magnets while attempting to use them, resulting in one near fatal surgical complication. The paper describes the details of the patients, the procedures used to detect the magnets, and the management of the different complications encountered.
