Ingested sharp foreign bodies rarely migrate extraluminally into adjacent organs such as the pharynx, lungs, and liver. Herein, we report a case of fish bone ingestion where the foreign body followed a unique migration trajectory. Computed tomography revealed a fish bone extraluminally located in the aortopulmonary space in the left mediastinum and peri-esophageal pneumomediastinum. Endoscopic examination indicated no injury to the esophageal mucosa but showed mucosal lacerations in the left hypopharynx. Accordingly, we reasoned that the fish bone penetrated the laryngopharynx and then descended in the mediastinum.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of B-cell lymphoma derived from CD5-positive antigen-naïve pre-germinal center B-cells within the mantle zone that surrounds normal germinal center follicles. MCL comprises approximately 5 to 10% of all lymphomas. Tonsil is the most common location of MCL in the head and neck region, followed by the nasopharynx. Primary MCL involving the nasopharynx is extremely rare. Its clinical course is very aggressive with frequent relapses after conventional chemotherapy. It always presents as a protruding mass on the mucosal lining of the pharyngeal cavity. Here, we report a new nodular type of MCL in the nasopharynx. Endoscopically, this case showed multiple nodular lesions of primary MCL on the nasopharyngeal mucosa. This unique finding has not been reported yet in the English literature. These lesions should be differentiated from simple pharyngeal infections or benign lymphoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx.
