Un cas de textilome renal simulant une tumeur de découverte anatomopathologique

The textile fibers may trigger an acute inflammatory reaction with formation of a perirenal abcess if aseptic resulting in the formation of fibrotic foci, encystment and calcification. Renal gossypibomas pose diagnostic difficulties in the absence of pathognomonic clinical and radiological signs. The presence of a renal mass associated with a history of kidney surgery on the same side should suggest first a gossypibomas. The treatment is surgical. Partial nephrectomy is the treatment of choice. The best treatment remains prevention by careful gauze counts, and surgical drapes in the beginning and end of intervention.
