| Abstrakt: | Foreign body (FB) aspiration is one of the most common emergency scenarios in cardiothoracic surgery and ENT unit consultations. We present the case of a 16-year-old male student who inadvertently ingested board pins while enjoying leftover savory. Despite the initial shock, he promptly sought evaluation at the local primary care facility. Remarkably, he remained largely asymptomatic. A subsequent chest radiograph revealed a radiopaque FB lodged in the right main bronchus. Employing a rigid bronchoscope, we successfully extracted the FB, obviating the need for open surgical intervention. What sets this case apart is the unusual combination of a large FB aspiration with minimal symptoms and the absence of internal injury during retrieval.
