A 66-year-old woman presented to Otorhinolaryngology with a sore throat after swallowing a fish bone and no improvement of symptoms. A CT scan of the neck showed foreign body with calcification within the esophageal, while upper gastrointestinal endoscopy did not reveal any foreign body. After admission, CT scans revealed a foreign body but no perforation or abscess. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed after edema had reduced, and the sharp fish bone was removed. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed two months later showed no scarring. In this case, the fish bone was embedded in the esophageal submucosa, endoscopic treatment by boring biopsy was selected, and the foreign body was removed using an elective procedure.
