“…The incidence of retained sponge varies from one in every 1000 -1500 of intra-abdominal surgeries to one in 100-3000 of all operative procedure (1,10,11 Retained sponges and instruments may be asymptomatic and detected incidentally or symptomatically. Some authors classified the symptoms as acute and/or chronic forms (4,(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

Introduction: Gossypiboma is defined as retained foreign object (sponge, needle, and instrument) in patient's corpus after operation that is recognized as a medical error. It may induce catastrophic implications for the patient and medical care providers. We present a case with a 17-year-old gossypiboma after cesarean section. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman was admitted to the outpatient clinic of Rasool-e-Akram hospital of Tehran, Iran, in 2016 presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), abdominal pain, and urinary symptoms for many years. She underwent hysteroscopy. Operative findings included intrauterine synechiae and a polypoid lesion. Besides, a thread-like foreign body was observed in the anterior surface of the uterine cavity, which was suspected as a cesarean section suture material that was extracted. After hysteroscopy, uterine bleeding stopped although abdominal pain and urinary symptoms maintained. Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) and MRI revealed a mass between uterus and bladder. Then, laparotomy was performed. After opening the abdominal wall under general anesthesia, we explored internal organs and encountered a necrotic mass revealing an old organized gauze between bladder and uterus, which infiltrated the uterus and trigon. It was extracted and then, hysterectomy and bladder repair were carried out. Conclusions: Surgical sponges are the most common foreign materials retained in abdominal cavity.

A 65-year-old male presented with an incidental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding of a right renal pelvis (RP) tumor-like mass. He was subjected to nephrostomy tube (NT) placement due to hydronephrosis secondary to an impacted ureteral stone. NT was removed after successful Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy. Abdominal MRI performed 19 months later for another indication showed RP wall thickening/enhancement and an intrapelvic low-intensity linear structure presenting as a magnetic susceptibility artifact. He underwent diagnostic ureterorenoscopy/retrograde intrarenal surgery. A calcified NT locking suture remnant was found within the pelvis surrounded by reactive edema without evidence of tumor. Foreign body (FB) was removed after disintegration of surrounding calcifications using Ho:YAG laser. This is the first case of a calcified NT locking suture remnant mimicking RP tumor on MRI. The case underlies the importance of safe NT removal. Specific MRI findings may prove valuable for preoperative diagnosis of intrarenal FBs in cases with history of endourological interventions evaluated for upper urinary tract masses. Multidisciplinaryuroradiological approach of such cases is essential.
