A Case of Migratory Thyroid Foreign Body.Ear Nose Throat J 2026 May 06; :1455613261446601. [Online ahead of print]EN
Abstract
Foreign bodies in the esophagus and pharynx are common acute emergencies in otolaryngology - head and neck surgery. Most foreign bodies remain lodged in the lumen and can be removed via fiber laryngoscopy, esophagoscopy, or electronic gastroscope. However, a minority of sharp foreign bodies may perforate the wall, leading to wandering neck abscesses. Migratory thyroid foreign bodies are relatively rare, especially when the onset interval exceeds six months. This report presents a case of a 43 - year - old female patient who was admitted due to severe neck pain. After comprehensive examinations, she was diagnosed with a migrated thyroid foreign body and was cured and discharged after open neck surgery.
