ABSTRACT
Oesophageal penetration and migration of foreign bodies are fairly rare occurrences. Most reported cases in the literature involve fish bones, which are eventually found in the lateral neck soft tissue or thyroid lobule. We present a case of a migrating fish bone in an elderly female which was found embedded in her right sternocleidomastoid muscle. The fish bone was successfully removed via neck exploration. Appropriate literature is reviewed.
