Abstract

We report a sixty-four-year-old woman with an extrapharyngeal foreign body due to swallowing a fish bone. The patient complained of a sore throat after she swallowed fried cutlass fish. However, there was no foreign body detected under pharyngolaryngoscopy or on the cervical X-ray film. Although the sore throat disappeared, cervical CT was carried out, because fish bone as a foreign body was strongly suspected based on the case history. Accordingly, it was demonstrated that the fish bone had extruded from the pharyngeal lumen and penetrated the thyroid. The extrapharyngeal foreign body was successfully removed by lateral neck incision under general anesthesia.
