Gossypiboma, an infrequent surgical complication, is a mass lesion due to a retained surgical sponge surrounded by foreign-body reaction. A 27-year-old lady presented with palpable abdominal mass five years after cesarean section. Retained foreign body was diagnosed radiologically and confirmed with operation. Retained foreign body should be in the differential diagnosis of any postoperative patient who presents with pain, infection, or palpable mass.
医用海绵瘤是一种罕见的手术并发症，是由于手术中遗留的海绵体周围出现异物反应而形成的肿块病变。一名27岁女性在剖宫产术后五年出现可触及的腹部肿块。经影像学诊断为异物残留，并通过手术得以证实。对于任何出现疼痛、感染或可触及肿块的术后患者，都应将异物残留纳入鉴别诊断范围。
