Gut perforation, secondary to the insertion of a biliary stent, is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication. The authors present the case of a patient with biliary stent dislocation and intestinal perforation. The diagnosis was suspected on the description on direct abdomen X-ray of a stent inserted in a right iliac artery.
