Fish bone ingestion is a common encounter in otorhinolaryngology setting. The patient usually present with foreign body sensation and odynophagia. Owing to its sharp end in nature, migration to the surrounding structures such as thyroid gland and neck muscles and have been reported. However the migration into the trachea is an extremely rare occurrence. We present a patient with fish bone ingestion which pierced into the trachea wall which was successfully removed via bronchoscopy.
