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.
吞食异物并卡在食管中并不罕见。然而，这样的异物在食管中停留六个月的情况非常罕见。这个特殊病例是一名37岁男子，之所以有趣，是因为异物（一副假牙）在食管中停留的时间很长却没有出现并发症，它被成功取出，以及异物的性质，这种异物在长时间停留或取出过程中容易引发并发症。
