13-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complaint of sore throat for five days. His anamnesis revealed orchidopexy under general anesthesia and the onset of the symptoms just in the postoperative period. The patient was admitted and the diagnosis of hypopharynx phlegmon due to airway manipulation during previous surgery was made. After 48 hours of conservative treatment there was no clinical improvement but bleeding developed. Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy showed a iatrogenic foreign body lodged during orchidopexy.
