Background: Fish bone is one of the most common foreign bodies that gets lodged in the upper digestive tract, often located in the tonsil, epiglottis, pear-shaped fossa, and esophagus, where it may be easily located on routine inspection and removed. The forcible swallowing of food such as rice balls after ingesting fish bones by mistake may lead to the migration of the fish bone from the pharynx, throat, or esophagus to the surrounding tissues. Migration most commonly occurs to the soft tissues of the neck, even to the thyroid gland, but migration to the submandibular gland has rarely been reported. Conclusions: Foreign body ingestion may cause a series of complications and endanger a patient’s life. Cases require high awareness and attentiveness on the part of the first physician to diagnose and manage the condition, and appropriate health education should be imparted to the patient.

Recurrent sialadenitis of submandibular gland can have multiple causes, one of the rare being foreign bodies. Motor vehicle accidents, assaults, bullet wounds and iatrogenic surgical fault are the most common causes of traumatic foreign bodies. Fish bone is one of the most common foreign bodies that gets lodged in the upper digestive tract, often located in the tonsil, base of tongue, epiglottis, pyriform fossa and esophagus, where it may be easily identified on routine inspection and removed. The forcible swallowing of food such as rice balls after ingesting fish bones by mistake may lead to the migration of the fish bone from the pharynx, throat or esophagus to the surrounding tissues. Migration most commonly occurs to the soft tissues of the neck, even to the thyroid gland, but migration to the submandibular gland has rarely been reported. Here, we present a case of submandibular sialadenitis due to unusual migration of ingested fish bone to submandibular gland. Foreign body ingestion may cause a series of complications and endanger a patient's life. Cases require high awareness and attentiveness on the part of the first physician to diagnose and manage the condition and appropriate health education should be imparted to the patient.

Introduction. Foreign body stuck in the throat is a common emergency case, which can be removed by the endoscopic treatment. Fish bones are one of the common observed foreign bodies in the pharynx or cervical esophagus. Fish bones have a risk of damaging the mucosa when lodged in the upper digestive tract. Foreign bodies of fish bones located outside the laryngopharyngeal tissue are relatively unusual, and it is even more rare that they remain in the thyroid. It may cause local infection, abscess formation, large blood vessels rupture, and other serious life-threatening complications when the position of the fish bone migrates to the neck. We present a unique case of a 31-year-old woman in whom a fish bone was found in the thyroid. The fish bone had been removed successfully two months after the onset of symptoms. The relevant literature is reviewed and summarized.Case Presentation. A foreign body which is located in the neck area by swallowing is usually found in the emergency case. One of the commonest foreign bodies is the fish bone. The common presenting symptoms include foreign body (FB) sensation and or a sharp pain during swallowing. But we report a rare case in which a migratory fish bone stuck in the thyroid gland was found after 3 months. We retrieved previous literature and made a summary.Conclusions. Fish bones are not easy to be found as a foreign body. Surgeons should be aware that fish bones can become lodged in the thyroid gland. Combined with the history should be a wary fish bone to migrate to the case of the thyroid, to avoid misdiagnosis. To confirm the diagnosis, we can take ultrasound, computerized tomographic scanning (CT), and other tests.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common problem seen at emergency rooms and frequently involves chicken and fish bones. There are few cases of migrated foreign bodies through the retropharynx causing infectious process in the area but no one, despite the proximity, causing spondylodiscitis. Perhaps such condition is attributed to the integrity of the longus colli fascia covering and protecting the cervical spine. We described the first case of spondylodiscitis due to a foreign body (saw-toothed fish bone) that penetrated the longus colli fascia and carved into vertebral body C3.

Background: Patients with foreign bodies in upper digestive tract not infrequently trigger many diagnostic and treatment challenges, especially when foreign bodies translocate and are lodged outside the esophagus. Case report: We present a case of a foreign body in esophagus 56-years old woman who had developed persistent sensation of an obstacle in her throat after eating fish (Atlantic cod). She has initially dismissed her symptoms and refused medical treatment. Subsequently, a neck CT done one week later showed a 20-milimeter long fish bone in the soft tissues on the left side of her neck (between pharynx and vertebral column). Few attempts of endoscopic removal were unsuccessful. Despite antibiotic prophylaxis and due to the fish bone translocation into soft tissues of the neck and its location close to a common carotid artery and an internal jugular vein a decision was made to remove it from the external approach. The foreign body was successfully removed without any esophageal damages. Conclusions: Foreign bodies in digestive tract may result in many life-threatening complications. The fundamental management is based on the endoscopic removal of a foreign body and the antibiotic prophylaxis. In case of foreign bodies lodged in soft tissues open surgery is recommended.

Obstructive Sialadenitis

Introduction: Foreign body-associated sialadenitis of submandibular gland is not often and scarce within the literature. In this study, a report of a piece of Nail-like fish bone foreign body entering the Wharton’s duct causing an acute sialadenitis is presented. Foreign bodies must be explored and all suspected areas must be examined carefully for avoiding secondary problems and surgeries in the future. Foreign bodies in the oral and maxillofacial region are often experienced after trauma and dental treatment. Case Report : We describe a case of obstructive sialadenitis in the submandibular gland caused by penetration of a fish bone in a 68-year-old man. He had swelling and spontaneous pain in the left submandibular region. The radiographic examination didn't show foreign body in the submandibular gland. Initially, we diagnosed obstructive sialadenitis in the left submandibular gland and the study suspect that salivary stone might be the cause of this swelling so compressing and milking of Wharton duct. The foreign body measured 1.3 cm *3 mm*2 mm and was a nail-like object. On pathological examination, the foreign body was found to be a fish bone (cartilage-like organic material). Conclusion: This case demonstrated that precise and proper inspection and examination, milking and then paying attention to the secretion of salivary gland lead to proper diagnosis and after that suitable treatment, so this could reduce costly assessment and treatment, also lessen bewilderment of the patient.

— There are several reports of intravesical foreign bodies, but those due to migration from adjacent organs or tissues are unusual. We report a case of an intravesical acetabular prosthesis in an 81-year-old woman, who 24 years before had a total left hip replacement for severe coxarthrosis, with subseguent removal of the femoral head 3 years later due to rejection. Our case is unusual for the long latency, lack of severe complications and absence in literature of reports of acetabular prosthesis as an intravesical foreign body.

ABSTRACT Foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses after critical accidents are rare occurrences that have sporadically been reported worldwide. Firearm projectiles, daggers, knives, glass fragments, stones, teeth, and wood can get lodged in the soft and hard tissues of the face. The management and prognosis in these cases depend on the composition and location of the foreign body as well as on the presence or absence of infection. Although there are reports involving the soft tissues of the face, the ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses are the most frequently involved sites. The main manifestation of this condition is sinusitis arising from infection and/or inflammation caused by the foreign body, which is a contaminated object. We report a case of removal of a firearm projectile located in the maxillary sinus of a 34-year-old patient under local anesthesia.
