It took more than a week of pain, bleeding and swallowing difficulties but a 72-year-old man’s missing dentures were eventually located — in his throat.

The man, a retired electrician, turned up at the ED with odynophagia, dysphagia and haemoptysis, six days after a minor abdominal procedure, according to an article in BMJ Case Report.
