ABSTRACT
Fish bone is one of the most common foreign bodies encountered in the upper aerodigestive tract region. Owing to its trivial size, smooth surface, and sharp ends, it has a great propensity to migrate in the neck and adjoining structures. Long standing migrated foreign bodies can cause devastating complications like neck abscess and injuries to the major blood vessels. Herein, we report a rare case of long-standing fish bone, which migrated to the subcutaneous tissues of the neck. The foreign body bypassed all the vital structures and was observed as a projection in the skin of the patient’s neck. A careful history and a detailed clinico-radiographic investigation helped to locate the bone and aided in its successful removal.
