Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Ingested foreign bodies rarely penetrate the oropharynx.
  • Migration into the neck structures is an exceptionally uncommon complication.

Observation:

  • A 2-year-old boy presented with a submental lump.
  • The lump appeared one day after the child reportedly swallowed a fish bone.

Findings:

  • Clinical examination revealed a palpable submental mass.
  • Radiological imaging (e.g., CT scan) was crucial for diagnosis.
  • Intraoperative findings confirmed the presence and location of the migrated fish bone.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering unusual presentations of foreign body ingestion.
  • Emphasizes the role of multidisciplinary assessment in pediatric cases.
  • Underscores the potential for serious complications from seemingly minor incidents.
