A six cm kidney mass was incidentally discovered during a prostate ultrasound in a 70-year-old male. Surgical removal revealed retained surgical gauze from a prior operation 35 years earlier, compressing the kidney.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Incidental findings during diagnostic imaging can reveal unexpected pathologies.
  • Retained surgical foreign bodies are rare but documented complications of prior procedures.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old male underwent a prostate control ultrasonography.
  • A significant six cm kidney mass was incidentally detected during the examination.

Findings:

  • The kidney mass, with minimal renal separation, was surgically removed.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of surgical gauze within the mass, originating from a surgery 35 years prior.
  • The kidney parenchyma was compressed by the mass and gauze foreign body.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for long-term complications from retained surgical materials.
  • It underscores the importance of thorough surgical history and meticulous intraoperative practices.
  • Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in identifying delayed complications of surgery.
