A 46-year-old man presented with protruded sharp swelling left side of neck, X-rays and CT scan of the neck showed a needle migrating from the pyriform fossa to the skin. Carotid angiography was also done to see the relations of foreign body with great vessels. Transcutaneous removal of foreign body was done under general anesthesia.

Cases of spontaneous expulsion of ingested foreign bodies to the skin of the neck are quite rare.展开更多
