ABSTRACT
Airway stenting has become integral to the therapeutic endoscopic management of benign and malignant obstructive airway diseases. Despite the increased use of stents, the absence of clear guidelines for surveillance and maintenance poses the potential for unique stent-associated complications. Our case reports a rare incident of tracheal stent dislodgement, leading to its ingestion and unexpected discovery within the stomach. This case serves the purpose of shedding light on a rare yet potentially life-threatening complication and discussing types of stent and characteristics to enhance gastroenterologists' understanding of stent-related challenges and equips them to anticipate and strategize the appropriate course of action.
