  Abstract: Thyroid foreign body represents a rare clinical entity, predominantly caused by migration of esophageal foreign bodies through the esophageal wall into the thyroid gland. Characterized by insidious early symptoms and frequent misdiagnosis as thyroiditis or neck infections, this condition demonstrates high rates of missed diagnosis and may lead to severe complications including infection spread and vascular injuries. This article presents a case report of a 69-year-old female patient with thyroid foreign body secondary to fish bone penetration, where comprehensive imaging evaluation and surgical exploration confirmed the diagnosis, followed by successful partial thyroidectomy. Through systematic literature review, we summarize the epidemiological patterns, diagnostic algorithms, and therapeutic principles of thyroid foreign bodies, providing evidence-based guidance for clinical management.
