  • Title: A rare case of a foreign body migration from the upper digestive tract to the subcutaneous neck.
    Author: Pang KP, Pang YT.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2002 Oct; 81(10):730-2. PubMed ID: 12405094.
    Abstract:
    Ingested foreign bodies are not unusual in Singapore. The most common of these objects are fish bones, which typically become lodged in the tonsils or in the base of the tongue. We report a rare case of an ingested fish bone that migrated from the upper digestive tract and into the soft tissues of the neck just below the skin.
