A rare case of an 8 cm metallic foreign body in the oropharynx, lodged for four years, presented with an unusually benign course. This report highlights the need for careful surgical extraction of such unusual penetrating injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Case Reports
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Foreign bodies in the oropharynx can lead to severe complications.
  • Long-term retention of metallic objects is uncommon and poses unique challenges.

Observation:

  • An 8 cm rusting metallic foreign body entered the oropharynx via a post-aural penetration injury.
  • The foreign body remained asymptomatic within the pharyngeal lumen for four years.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrated an exceptionally benign clinical course despite the size and duration of the retained foreign body.
  • No significant complications were observed during the four-year period.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering unusual presentations of retained foreign bodies.

  • Highlights the necessity for specialized investigations and meticulous surgical planning for extraction.
  • Emphasizes the potential for benign outcomes even with long-standing, large oropharyngeal foreign bodies.
