Abstract

Gossypiboma is generally defined as an inflammatory lesion resulting from a foreign substance like a retained surgical sponge or gauze after surgery. Despite a number of reports of gossypiboma after thoracic and abdominal surgery, the gossypiboma after thyroid surgery has quite rarely been reported. We report a case of gossypiboma in the neck after a total thyroidectomy with ultrasonography, computed tomography, and a magnetic resonance image.

Gossypiboma는 수술 과정에서 제거되지 않은 거즈나 스펀지 등의 이물질에 의해 발생한 염증성 병변이다. 이는 복부나 흉부 수술과 관련하여서 많은 증례 보고가 있으나, 갑상선절제술 후 발생한 gossypiboma는 매우 드물다. 이에 저자들은 전갑상선절제술 후 gossypiboma를 경험하였기에, 이에 대한 초음파, 전산화단층촬영, 자기공명영상의 소견을 보고하는 바이다.
