ABSTRACT
It is not unusual for a foreign body to be swallowed and become lodged in the oesophagus. It is, however, very unusual for such a foreign body to remain lodged for a period of six months. This particular case, a 37-year-old man, is interesting because of the length of time the foreign body, a denture, remained in the oesophagus without complications, its successful removal and the nature of the foreign body, which is prone to cause complications on prolonged stay or during removal.
