| description | Key Clinical Message Migration of any foreign body can cause potentially life threatening complications and should be reviewed by a multidisciplinary approach for the management. Diagnosis can be challenging; a history of foreign body injury could be suspicious. Abstract Foreign body injury to the chest wall can be an emergency situation and require a multidisciplinary approach for the management of the condition. Migration of the foreign body, though rare, can lead to potentially life threatening complications and require a multidisciplinary approach for the localization of the foreign body and subsequent management of the condition. A 50‐year‐old male presented to the emergency department with the complaint of left sided chest pain. Upon examination, the patient was found to have a penetrating injury 6 years back by a sharp object. Radiological investigations helped in the localization of the migrating foreign body, which was removed with effective surgical intervention. The postoperative chest x‐ray was normal, the patient was asymptomatic and thus the patient was discharged on the same day following surgery. |
