An 81‐year‐old woman was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of chest discomfort; CT imaging suggested for cervical emphysema. However, direct observation revealed a grilled liver stuck to the larynx. Carefully taking the patient's history, especially diet, is important to diagnose a laryngeal foreign body correctly.
