Abstract
- Gossypiboma is not a commonly known surgical complication. It is a tumorous lesion usually caused by hemostatic material used in surgery. Such lesions are most commonly described after abdominal surgery. In this case report, the authors describe a case of a 17 year old female patient, operated for a mandible tumor. Histopathologically it was an ameloblastoma. The patient was treated lege artis, with the use of Surgicel® felt (Surgicel FibrillarTM Absorbable Hemostat). After two months, the young woman returned to clinics with a tumorous lesion at the same location. On the CT scan the lesion appeared to be a recurrence of the originally diagnosed ameloblastoma. Histopathologically, the lesion consisted of a foreign material with surrounding granulation tissue and massive inflamation. The foreign material had an atypical structure. Subsequent consultations and consensus at the clinic confirmed that it was a haemostatic foreign material with a surrounding hyper-inflammatory response mimicking a tumor, known in the literature under various names, most often as gossypiboma or textiloma.
