Description
We present a case of surgical gauze retained in mediastinum in a patient who underwent post infarction aneurysmectomy. The radiographic and CT findings are described, as is the clinical outcome of the patient. A diagnosis of retained gauze should be considered in all cases in which a well defined mass is located anywhere in patients who have undergone surgical treatment. (Author) 6 refs
