We came across a case of 50 years old female with complaints of dysphagia and loss of appetite since 15 days. Flexible and rigid endoscopy was done along with HRCT Thorax, wherein foreign body was identified in lower 2/3rd oesophagus obstructing the lumen. Later chest x-ray showed significant left pleural effusion. ICD was inserted and post allowing the patient on soft diet food particles were seen draining in ICD. Repeat endoscopy was done, which was suggestive of large perforation at 35 cm from incisor teeth. The diagnosis was delayed for 15 days with medical line of management in pulmonary medicine department.
