Article Abstract
Fishing constitutes a widely practiced sport considered pleasant and harmless. Yet, there are specific risks associated with fishhook injuries specifically in the neck. To the best of our knowledge, only few articles on fishhook injury in the neck were reported in the literature. We present the case of a 57-year-old previously healthy male coming to the emergency department with a J-type fishhook accidentally lodged in his neck. Prompt management with bedside removal of the sharp foreign body from the neck was achieved with no subsequent complications. In this case report, literature review of fishhook types and injuries as well as management options of such penetrating injuries will be detailed.

Aims: To investigate rural cancer survivors' self-reported reasons for perceived delays in initial cancer detection and treatment.

Retained nasal foreign bodies are commonly encountered in pediatric patients but can go unrecognized when symptoms mimic other chronic nasal conditions. We report the rare case of a 17-year-old female who presented with a 13-year history of unilateral nasal obstruction, purulent discharge, hyposmia, and sleep disturbances. Imaging revealed a metallic foreign body, consistent with a button battery, lodged in the right nasal cavity with associated fibrotic obliteration of the nasal vestibule.
