While esophageal foreign bodies are a common occurrence, late discovery is rare. The purpose of this report is to describe an unusual case in which a set of dentures lodged in the thoracic esophagus was discovered and surgically removed 15 years after accidental ingestion. Inadequacy of health care in remote regions of Madagascar accounts for this clinical case. Diagnosis and management of esophageal foreign bodies are discussed.
