A 51-year-old male had had foreign-body sensation in the throat upon swallowing for several years.On examination, there was a scar at his left mandibular angle, and x-ray examination revealed a shadow of a foreign body in the submandibular region.Surgery was performed and a metallic foreign body of 40mm in length, 5mm in width and 2mm in thickness was removed.It turned out by thorough inquiry that the patient experienced a trauma from a gas explosion 12 years before, and the metal wire which was removed surgically had been stuck at the site.The importance of precise examination of patients who complain of foreign-body sensation in the throat even though there are no objective findings in the pharynx or in the larynx was emphasized, and the mechanism for complaints appearing a long time after injury was discussed.
