“…An intra-abdominal fibrosarcoma arising within a mass of retained surgical sponge material and fibrosis has been reported in a cat from a previous ovariohysterectomy. 3 In this case report the cat presented 6 years after the procedure with clinical signs unrelated to the intra-abdominal mass. Similarly, a dog developed extraskeletal osteosarcoma related to a retained surgical sponge, as well as reports of osteosarcomas associated with internal fixation devices to correct limb fractures.…”

A 20-year-old male castrated domestic longhair cat was evaluated for assessment of its chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a non-healing ulcerated mass at the site of a previously placed and subsequently removed GIF tube. The cat had been diagnosed with CKD 10 years prior and two GIF tubes had been placed over a 5-year period, the second of which was associated with secondary infection. Biopsy of the non-healing ulcerated mass was consistent with grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma. At necropsy there was a discrete, serpentine, subcutaneous mass measuring approximately 8 mm in diameter that extended approximately 20 cm along the dorsum to the caudal thorax, following the path of the GIF tube, from the main intrascapular, ulcerated mass where the fluid port injection site was located. This is the first report of a fibrosarcoma arising at the site of a subcutaneous fluid port in a cat. Although the cat's owners were pleased with the 4 years of quality of life provided by this device, this complication should be considered when a decision to place ports for long-term management of disease is made.

“…In one case report, an abdominal swab migrated transmurally into the jejunum of a dog (Day and others 2012) and literature reports of retained surgical swabs or sponges resulting in abdominal fibrosarcoma exist (Haddad and others 2010; Rayner and others 2010). The ultrasonographic characteristics of textiloma and gossypiboma in dog have been well described (Choi and others 2011).…”

This case presents a thorn‐induced abdominal foreign body granuloma that was removed with single incision laparoscopic surgery and an extraction bag. An 11‐year‐old female cheetah presented for routine laparoscopic ovariectomy. Abdominal palpation detected a mid‐abdominal mass. Differential diagnoses were neoplasia and foreign body. Laparoscopic exploration of the peritoneal cavity revealed an omentalised mass, which was successfully removed with the aid of bipolar electrocoagulation. Microscopic investigation intraoperatively and postoperatively confirmed extensive foreign body‐induced granulomatous inflammation. The foreign body was well encapsulated by fibrous tissue with no adjacent stricture formation. The patient made a complete recovery, and this is the first case report of a thorn‐induced abdominal foreign body removed with minimally invasive surgery in a wild African carnivore.

“…These reports are mainly focused on imaging of the foreign bodies (Lamb and others 1994, Merlo and Lamb 2000) although osteomyelitis (Teague and others 1978) and development of neoplasia (Pardo and others 1990, Miller and others 2006, Haddad and others 2010) was reported in several small animals, at the site of swab retention many years after original surgery. This scarcity of reports within the veterinary literature suggests either the incidence is very low, or that retained swabs do not cause a clinical problem in veterinary cases.…”

To report the signalment, history, clinical signs, diagnostic and surgical findings and outcome in dogs and cats with retained swabs, medical records of dogs and cats that were referred to four referral centres were reviewed. Cases in which a retained surgical swab was identified during surgery at the referral hospital were selected for further study. The signalment, history, clinical signs, diagnostic and surgical findings and outcome in these cases were reviewed. Thirteen dogs with retained surgical swabs were included in the study. Bodyweight ranged from 9 to 45 kg. The initial surgery was a ‘non-routine’ abdominal procedure in seven dogs, ovariohysterectomy in five dogs and perineal hernia repair in one dog. Time from initial surgery to presentation at the referral centre ranged from four days to seven years. Treatment involved major surgery in eight of the 13 dogs. Outcome was excellent in 12 of 13 cases, one dog was euthanased.
