dc.description.abstract | We report a case of surgically retained pericardial sponge in an 82-year-old man who underwent sternotomy for coronary artery bypass operation four years ago. After the operation the chest x-ray showed a radiopaque filament at the retrocardiac region. This case report shows the serial radiological examinations by computed tomographic scans over 4 years demonstrating a well-defined mass adjacent to left ventricle with a radiopaque filament inside with pseudocystic changes in time. As far as we know this case is the first one in the literature showing the changes in a case of gossypiboma, as the patient refused surgery. | |
