ABSTRACT
Foreign bodies in the laryngopharynx and esophagus are common diagnoses in the clinic of otolaryngology department. There are various types of foreign bodies in the laryngopharynx and esophagus depending on environmental and individual features. Fish bones are the most common type of foreign body in the laryngopharynx and esophagus in Korea. Most of them can be found on inspection or by using a laryngoscope and removed easily. Although foreign bodies are rarely known to migrate from the laryngopharynx and esophagus to the thyroid gland for abscess formation, physicians must be cautious as sometimes they can migrate to other tissues. We describe a case of 53-year-old women with thyroid gland abscess formation due to migrated foreign bodies she had swallowed.
