ABSTRACT
A 55-year-old male presented with intermittent cough and blood-tinged sputum. 35 years earlier in the Army Armed Forces, he had undergone lung surgery of the right upper lobe because of tuberculosis. Chest CT showed a mass-like lesion with an internal air-meniscus sign in the right lung. The mass was 5x7 cm in the right upper lobe and it was a well marginated lesion. The resected mass contained a foreign body, that is, a retained surgical gauge. Herein we report on a rare case of retained gauze after surgery that mimicked aspergilloma.
