The object of our study was a long-time presence of a foreign body in an episiotomy scar.
Study Design:
A case of 46-year old woman with a palpable tumour in a perineal region is described.
Results:

Because of a character and localisation of the change the method of choice was surgical treatment which completely eliminated all symptoms.
