Abstract
|
|
|
|
Reports of ingested foreign bodies migrating to the neck are rare. We encountered a case of fish bone that migrated out of the upper digestive tract to the thyroid gland. This foreign body was identified by computed tomography and ultrasonography about two weeks after onset, and successfully removed via neck exploration and the patient recovered well.
