| description | Foreign body ingestion is a condition more common in the pediatric population than in adults. In adults, although foreign body ingestion can be well tolerated, approximately 10–20% of patients require endoscopic intervention.

Here we report a patient with bleeding duodenal ulcer thought to be initiated by a large foreign body. |
