Case report of a methylcellulose foreign body simulating esophageal carcinoma on X-ray
examination. Esophagoscopic extraction of the friable material failed as did suction.
The foreign body was finally pushed into the stomach with a fibergastroscope. Re-evaluation
of the esophagus by esophagoscopy and radiology revealed no organic cause for the
obstruction.
