Intra-abdominal gossypiboma
Abstract
Abstract
A surgical sponge left in abdominal cavity following completion of the operation (Gossypiboma) is a rare entity. Surgical gauze pad will initiate a granulomatous reaction and it may appear as a large intra-abdominal mass. This condition is referred as gossypiboma. They may not only cause aseptic reactions without significant symptom, but they may also lead to exudative reaction which is manifested in the early phase with non-specific symptoms. Computerized Tomography (CT) is a very valuable method in determination of gossypiboma. Here, we aimed to present a case diagnosed as gossypiboma by CT examination in a 35-years old female who had applied to our clinic with complaints of abdominal pain, vomiting and weight loss.

Özet
Operasyonda unutulmuş cerrahi spançlar (Gossipiboma) nadir görülen bir antitedir. Cerrahi gazlı bez granülamatöz bir reaksiyon başlatarak büyük bir kitle şeklinde görüntü verebilir. Buna gossipiboma denir. Bunlar belirgin semptom vermeyen aseptik reaksiyona neden olabildikleri gibi, erken dönemde nonspesifik semptomlarla kendini gösteren eksudatif reaksiyona da neden olabilirler. Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) gossipibomaların tanınmasında çok değerli bir yöntemdir. Biz 35 yaşında karın ağrısı, kusma, kilo kaybı şikayeti ile başvuran kadın hastada, BT’de gossipiboma tanısı koyduğumuz hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.
