Abstract

Gossypiboma is an inflammatory pseudomass formed by a retained surgical sponge or gauze with reactive tissue after surgery. Gossypiboma has been reported most frequently after abdominal or thoracic surgery. As such, gossypiboma following brain surgery is very rare. We report a case of gossypiboma mimicking tumor recurrence in the brain after a craniotomy and surgical excision of a low grade astrocytoma.

Gossypiboma는 수술 과정에서 잔류된 거즈나 스펀지와 같은 다양한 종류의 이물질에 의해 염증반응을 일으키는 종물을 말한다. Gossypiboma는 복부나 흉부 수술과 관련하여서 많은 증례 보고가 있었다. 그러나 뇌수술 후에 발생한 gossypiboma는 매우 드문 병변이다. 저자들은 뇌의 별아교세포종의 외과적 절제 수술 이후 시행한 뇌 자기공명영상에서 조영증강되는 병변으로 보여 별아교세포종의 재발로 오인되었던 gossypiboma를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
