[Migrating foreign body in the oropharynx--a rare find].
We present an unusual case where a 30 year-old man was found to have a large migrating piece of glass enter the neck through the skin and perforate the oropharynx 6 years later. The foreign body was removed without difficulty under general anesthesia, and the patient was discharged after a short postoperative period.
