In Thailand, a woman accidentally swallowed a fish bone, leading to an unexpected medical saga. Despite initial X-rays showing no foreign object, she endured persistent throat discomfort. Two weeks later, a sharp point emerged from her neck's skin, revealing the bone's migration.

This rare case highlights the risks of untreated fish bone ingestion. Experts advise seeking immediate medical attention if a bone is swallowed, as delayed removal can lead to complications like neck abscesses or, as in this instance, the bone protruding externally.

Doctors successfully extracted the 2-cm fish bone, marking a rare instance of internal migration leading to external protrusion, underscoring the importance of prompt medical care in such cases.
