Popis: Gauzoma is a rare iatrogenic mass caused by the retention of gauze fibers during surgery. This intraoperative complication represents a diagnostic problem for radiologists besides being a medicolegal problem for surgeons. We present a patient in whom a retained surgical sponge after breast augmentation surgery mimicked a siliconoma and discuss imaging appearance and differential diagnosis.
