ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Gossypiboma is an iatrogenic complication which can occur in any surgical procedure. It is an uncommon condition and is under reported in literature. Due to non-anticipation it is usually missed or misdiagnosed leading to delayed diagnosis. We present two cases of gossypiboma in the nose and nasopharynx respectively
