Synopsis: 

INTRODUCTION

The lionfish is a member of the family Scorpaendia which comprises most of the world’s venomous fish.  Lionfish envenomations can be seen in divers, fisherman and swimmers.  They are naturally found in tropical waters in the Indo-Pacific region.  They are also often found in aquariums worldwide.  We present the case of a 20 year male who presented to the emergency department (ED) after he was stung on his hand by a lionfish (Pterois volitans) while cleaning an aquarium.
