This case report details a rare instance of an ingested fish bone migrating to the neck's subcutaneous tissue. Prompt identification and removal are key for managing this unusual foreign body migration.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Foreign body ingestion is a common clinical scenario.
  • Migration of ingested foreign bodies to unusual locations is rare.
  • Fish bones are frequent culprits in foreign body ingestion cases.

Observation:

  • A case of an ingested fish bone migrating to the subcutaneous tissue of the neck is presented.
  • The migration occurred without significant morbidity.
  • Standard management involves locating and removing the foreign body.

Findings:

  • This represents an evidently rare case of fish bone migration.
  • Subcutaneous neck migration of an ingested fish bone is an uncommon presentation.
  • The patient experienced minimal complications during migration.
