Core Tip	Superior mediastinal foreign bodies originate from a sharp perforation of esophageal foreign body. In this case, we reported a 63-year-old male patient with a history of neck trauma who presented with a black-brown foreign body in the lateral wall of his esophagus. Neck and chest-computed tomography showed that two superior mediastinal foreign bodies penetrated the esophagus diagonally. We used a rigid esophagoscopy combined with angle endoscopic surgery remove the two foreign bodies. Because of a rigid working channel of the esophagoscope and good exposure of the endoscope, the risk of injury to the adjacent vital tissues was minimized.
