Intrathoracic gossypibomas, rare surgical complications, present diagnostic and treatment challenges. Early suspicion in patients with pulmonary masses and surgical history is crucial for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Thoracic Surgery

Context:

  • Intrathoracic gossypibomas are rare but pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.
  • These retained surgical sponges can lead to serious complications.

Purpose:

  • To review the clinical and radiological features of intrathoracic gossypibomas.
  • To discuss the diagnostic challenges and medicolegal implications.

Summary:

  • A retrospective review of eight patients treated for intrathoracic gossypiboma between 1990 and 2003.
  • Common symptoms included hemoptysis and thoracic pain; imaging revealed opacities and effusions.
  • Surgical removal was complex, with some patients requiring parenchyma sacrifice and experiencing postoperative complications.

Impact:
