Migrated ingested foreign bodies from the upper digestive tract have the potential to cause life-threatening complications. Cases of spontaneous expulsion to the skin of the neck are very rare. We present an unusual case of an ingested foreign body that migrated out of the upper digestive tract and self-extruded via the skin of the neck. An approach to the safe management of such seemingly innocuous foreign bodies is discussed. This report highlights the message that non-found ingested foreign bodies should be treated seriously due to the possibility of migration and resulting complications.
上消化道内迁移的摄入性异物有可能导致危及生命的并发症。自发排出至颈部皮肤的病例非常罕见。我们报告一例摄入性异物从上消化道迁移并经颈部皮肤自行排出的罕见病例。本文讨论了针对此类看似无害的异物的安全处理方法。本报告强调了一个信息，即对于未发现的摄入性异物，由于其迁移及由此导致并发症的可能性，应予以重视。
