Foreign bodies have routinely been found in pharynx and esophagus. Sometimes they penetrate the pharynx and find their way into the neck. Normally if they have sharp edges like metal clips or Fish bones, finding their way into the neck is high. However they will be easily identifiable in radiographs. Rarely, a foreign body of non- metallic or nonradio-opaque nature may find its way into the neck, where it may evade the clinician’s detection. We have one such case presented to us where the radiological findings were none and the only indication is a strong history by patient. We are presenting our experience with removal of foreign body (acrylic denture with tooth) from thyroid lobe through neck exploration. We strongly recommend the use of markers in the making of acrylic dentures.
