Majority of esophageal foreign bodies don’t cause any complication by directly passing through gastrointestinal system; however, minority of them requires endoscopic or surgical treatment. Here, we presented an unusual esophageal foreign body due to its localization and shape without any risk factor, which is removed successfully by using endoscopic approach.
