The most common type of lower airway foreign body is organic substances, in particular chicken or fish bones. In many patients a history of an acute choking event is not found, and symptoms are non-specific and may be attributed to other medical conditions. Herein we report the unique case of an 80-year-old Chinese woman who aspirated a fish fin that was undiagnosed for 3 years. ER -
