Özet
Gossypiboma is used to describe a retained surgical swab in the body after an operation. Intraabdominal surgical sponge is an uncommon surgical error. Gossypiboma may cause serious morbidity and may lead to mortality. Gossypibomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue masses detected in patients with a history of a prior operation. In this case we present a 67- year-old female who had a laparotomy for acute cholecistecytitis 5 years previously and was discovered to have a retained surgical swab.
