Abstract
Gossypiboma is a term used to refer to pseudo-tumors composed of a non-absorbable cotton matrix. Retained sponge in the breast is extremely rare in the literature. The radiologic identification of gossypiboma is difficult because of their variable appearance. But when typical radiologic appearances are present in a patient with previous breast surgery, pre-operative diagnosis of a retained surgical sponge may prevent fatal complications. We present “Aunt Minnie” findings of gossypiboma in a patient with previous breast surgery including ultrasound (US), mammogram and computed tomography (CT).
