Abstract
Abstract: Gossypiboma or textiloma is used to describe a retained surgical swab in the body after an operation. This increases morbidity and mortality of the patient, cost of treatment, and medico-legal issues. A case of a 50-year-old woman is reported, who was referred from periphery with acute abdomen. She had a surgical history of abdominal hysterectomy performed 5 years back. Ovarian cyst was suspected on clinical examination. Imaging studies kept a possibility of retained surgical mop. Laparotomy revealed an encysted mass, filled with pus and a surgical swab/mop in the centre, further confirming the diagnosis of gossypiboma. Keywords: Gossypiboma , Textiloma , Forgotten foreign body in abdomen, Lump in abdomen.
