ABSTRACT
Gossypiboma is the term used to describe mass lesion caused by retained surgical sponges with reactive tissue after a surgical intervention. This condition has been mostly reported after abdominal or thoracic surgery. We recently experienced a case of gossypiboma of the peritonsillar space in a 31-year old male patient, who previously undergone incision and drainage for treatment of peritonsillar abscess but had persistent symptom of sore throat, myalgia and febrile sensation for 6 months. The gauze was accidently left in the peritonsillar space after a surgical intervention and resulted in mass like lesion in the ipsilateral peritonsillar space. To our knowledge, this is the first case of oropharyngeal gossypiboma in the literature. Although it is rare in adults, foreign body of peritonsillar space should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unilateral recurrent tonsillitis.
