Abstract
We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with an extrapharyngeal foreign body (yellowtail fish bone). The patient complained of soreness of the throat ever since eating a yellowtail fish. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy revealed swelling of the left arytenoid region and a salivary pool in the left pyriform fossa, but no foreign body. CT revealed a fish bone in the left arytenoid region, with abcess formation around it. The extrapharyngeal foreign body was successfully removed by laryngeal microsurgery.
