Gossypiboma is a rare, preventable and under-reported pseudo-tumour complication following surgery. It has serious medicolegal consequences. It poses a diagnostic dilemma due to non-specific clinical and radiologic features. We therefore report a case of gossypiboma in a 31-year old woman following a midnight emergency caesarean operation, to highlight the risk in our environment, the implications and the need for a high index of suspicion in postsurgical patients.
