Diagnosis With Brief Discussion
- Diagnosis
- Gossypiboma
- Radiologic Findings
- Fig 1. Chest PA showed a large mass-like opacity in left lower hemithorax.
Fig 2-4. High-resolution CT images showed a large well-capsulated mass with internal whirl-like calcification. This mass showed a little enhancement. These findings are most compatible with gossypiboma. He underwent surgery, and was confirmed gossypiboma.
- Brief Review
- The term “gossypiboma” is derived from the Latin word “gossypium,” which means cotton, and the Swahili word “boma,”, which means place of concealment and refers to retained sponge in the surgical bed. Gossypiboma (textiloma or cottonoid) is an important complication of surgery, with an estimated incidence of one case per 1,500 surgeries. Retained sponge may induce an aseptic foreign body reaction with subsequent fibrosis and granuloma formation. Clinical and radiological appearances are variable, depending on the location and chronicity of the retained sponge. Two frequent sites of intrathoracic gossypiboma are the pleural and pericardial cavities.
Characteristic CT features of abdominal gossypibomas include a spongiform appearance with gas bubbles ; low-density mass with a thin enhancing capsule; and calcifications deposited along the network architecture of a surgical sponge. On the other hand, a sponge left within the pleural space shows no gas lucencies due to resorption of the air by the pleura.
Magnetic resonance features of intrathoracic gossypiboma have been described. They may appear as a pseudocystic mass containing a movable body or a mass having low signal intensity on T2 weighted images.
