Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is a clinical concern that commonly affects pediatric patients but can also occur in adults, particularly those with underlying risk factors. Desiccant canisters, used in medication bottles to maintain product stability, may pose an ingestion risk, especially when their appearance closely resembles tablets. We report the case of a 46-year-old woman with an incidental finding of a desiccant canister in the cecum during a screening colonoscopy. This case underscores the need for improved packaging modifications, enhanced patient education, and clear labeling to prevent accidental ingestion and ensure safer bowel preparation for colonoscopy.
