At times these foreign bodies, if sharp, can pierce the wall of these structures and may lay extraluminally either in the wall or in the soft tissues of neck. Though these are rare occurrences, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment should be instituted to avoid complications. We present here a case of an ingested fishbone which migrated from the hypopharynx and presented as a neck abscess with the foreign body on the verge of extrusion. It was successfully removed, the abscess drained, and the patient recovered completely.
