Abstract
An interesting case of an accidently ingested foreign body ie, a sharp fish bone which has travelled to the left lobe of thyroid gland without causing any complication like oesophageal perforation or tear is reported here. Many People frequently eat fish as their food and accidently fish bone gets embeded in either tonsils or throat which can be removed safely by an ENT surgon. Many times it usually passes through the gastrointestinal tract without any complication, but here in our case when pt. came to us for the first time with Complaints of pain in throat at that time she was having no radiological and endoscopic evidence of FB and hence was send home but the same pt.came to us after 12 days with left lobe thyroid swelling which radiologically showed evidence of a radio opaque FB which was removed successfully by opening left thyroid lobe without doing lobectomy. The incidence of such type of complication without any mishap is very rare, hence we are reporting this case
