Abstract

Introduction: Foreign body ingestion can lead to esophageal complications, including perforation and impaction, in up to 20% of cases, making it a critical situation. Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can cause severe complications.

Case presentation: We present the case of a 78-year-old female who swallowed an acrylic partial denture leading to progressive dysphagia and a vegetative ulcerative lesion on endoscopy. The lesion was initially misdiagnosed as a neoplasm of the esophagus. CT scan and a repeat endoscopy revealed the presence of a denture in the esophagus. The denture was successfully removed with a rigid esophagoscope, and no evidence of complications was reported in follow-up visits.

Discussion: Diagnosis of esophageal foreign bodies involves imaging studies and endoscopy, which is the gold standard for diagnosis and management. CT scans also have an important role in diagnosing controversial cases. Treatment depends on the size, shape, and location of the object.

吞咽义齿导致误诊为食道肿瘤:病例报告。
简介异物摄入可导致食管并发症,包括穿孔和嵌顿,发病率高达 20%,情况十分危急。误诊或延误诊断可导致严重的并发症:我们介绍了一例 78 岁女性的病例,她吞咽丙烯酸局部义齿导致进行性吞咽困难,内镜检查发现植物性溃疡病变。病变最初被误诊为食道肿瘤。CT 扫描和重复内窥镜检查发现食道内有一颗假牙。使用硬质食管镜成功取出了假牙,随访中未发现并发症:讨论:食管异物的诊断涉及影像学检查和内窥镜检查,内窥镜检查是诊断和治疗的金标准。CT 扫描对于诊断有争议的病例也有重要作用。治疗方法取决于异物的大小、形状和位置。
