Zenker's bezoar.
Zenker's diverticulum has been associated with a variety of symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation, aspiration, halitosis, and occasionally cough. In this case, a large Zenker's diverticulum containing a bezoar caused a persistent, debilitating cough presumably due to compression of adjacent neck structures.
