description The prevalence of foreign body swallowing is high in both children and adults. Different types of objects can be ingested. In older individuals, denture ingestion is common. The dentures may be left in the esophagus after being swallowed and then repelled. We present a case of a 62-year-old man who attended clinic due to dysphagia lasting for 5 years with an endoscopy report of a foreign body in his esophagus. There are few reports of objects remaining in the esophagus for a long time. Chronically retained foreign bodies may be associated with complications; thus, the foreign body should be promptly extracted following diagnosis, especially in the elderly.
