Textiloma en cavidad intraabdominal: una causa de diagnóstico equívoco

  The case of a 71 year-old patient is presented, with a history of cholecystectomy 27 years ago, who was referred to the surgery department for evaluation of an intrabdominal mass. On imaging studies there was a calcificated mass suggestive of tumoral lesion either by abdominal ecography and abdominal computed tomography, because of this she was carried to surgery where a textiloma was found. The calcification on the abdominal computed tomography probably was the factor which caused the wrong diagnosis. Textiloma should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses, especially in patients with a prior history of abdominal surgery, even with typical tumorous characteristics on preoperative imaging studies. Hereafter are exposed image of preoperative studies of the case, of the surgical piece removed during the procedure and a literature review is made.  Key words: Textiloma. Forgot surgical material. Hepatocellular carcinoma.
