A forgotten surgical sponge was discovered as an asymptomatic renal mass in a patient 5 years after nephrolithotomy. This highlights the importance of considering foreign bodies in renal mass differential diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Renal masses are frequently detected incidentally.
  • Solid renal masses often raise concern for malignancy.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic solid renal mass.
  • Radiographic imaging suggested a renal tumor.

Findings:

  • Pathological examination revealed an intrarenal surgical sponge, a remnant from a nephrolithotomy performed 5 years prior.
  • The foreign body was encased in a thick fibrous capsule.

Implications:

  • Foreign bodies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal masses.
  • A history of prior surgery is a crucial factor in evaluating suspected renal masses.
