Abstract EN
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.
