We report a case of retained surgical sponge in the breast with its sonographic and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings. Striped and spotted low signal intensity structures seen within the lesion on T2 weighted MR imaging was characteristic. Sonographic examination also was helpful with the appearance of strong posterior acoustic shadowing at the lesion. It is extremely rare, to see a gossypiboma in the breast. A high degree of suspicion and imaging findings are very important for the diagnosis.
我们报告一例乳腺内手术海绵残留病例及其超声和磁共振(MR)成像表现。T2加权MR成像上病变内可见条纹状和斑点状低信号强度结构,这具有特征性。超声检查对病变处出现明显后方声影也有帮助。乳腺内出现棉籽瘤极为罕见。高度怀疑和成像表现对诊断非常重要。
