Abstract
AbstractA 42-year-old female Jordanian patient presented with a history of sudden painful dysphagia following swallowing of a fish bone. Though soft tissue X-rays showed a foreign body in the neck, repeated oesophagoscopies failed to reveal it. Computed axial tomography was done and showed a fish bone embedded in the left thyroid lobe. Left thyroid lobectomy was carried out and the fish bone was seen within the lobe surrounded by an area of acute inflammation.
