Core Tip	Foreign body in the deep neck is mostly associated with accidental ingestion of the animal spiculate bone. These emergency accidents need timely diagnosis and treatment, otherwise, they might cause fatal complications such as neck abscess or macrovascular injury. We present a case of a 32-year-old man who intentionally swallowed a thermometer which was unable to be located by endoscopy at his initial visit. He had no remarkable symptoms for five years as the long-term retention of the foreign body resulted in the formation of the surrounding fibrous membrane. This case implies both endoscopic and radiological examinations are essential for the diagnosis of alimentary foreign bodies.
