Gossypiboma, also called textiloma, results when a cotton matrix such as a gauze pad or surgical sponge is left in a body cavity after surgery. The diagnosis of gossypiboma can be challenging. In symptomatic patients, operative removal of the pad or sponge is recommended; however, the decision to operate might be less immediately clear in asymptomatic patients. We report the cases of 2 patients in whom we diagnosed paracardiac gossypiboma. In addition, we briefly review other cases and discuss the treatment of asymptomatic patients.
棉绒瘤，也称为纺织瘤，是指手术之后如纱布垫或手术海绵等棉质填充物遗留在体腔内所导致的疾病。棉绒瘤的诊断颇具挑战性。对于有症状的患者，建议手术取出填充物；然而，对于无症状的患者，手术决策可能就没那么明确了。我们报告了2例被诊断为心旁棉绒瘤的患者病例。此外，我们简要回顾了其他病例并讨论了无症状患者的治疗方法。
