The majority of foreign bodies ingested pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract without endoscopic intervention. Nevertheless, certain ingested objects pose a greater risk for complications and are more challenging to remove than others. This case report describes a 49-year-old male who swallowed a cigarette lighter causing a gastric ulcer. The lighter was successfully removed by flexible endoscopy using a polypectomy snare. Urgent removal is required due to the shape of the object and its hazardous contents. This is the first case report published in the United States describing cigarette lighter ingestion and management.
大多数摄入的异物可在不经内镜干预的情况下顺利通过胃肠道。然而，某些摄入的物体引发并发症的风险更高，且比其他物体更难取出。本病例报告描述了一名49岁男性，他吞下了一个打火机，导致胃溃疡。使用息肉切除圈套器通过软性内镜成功取出了打火机。由于该物体的形状及其危险内容物，需要紧急取出。这是美国发表的首例描述打火机摄入及处理的病例报告。
