On CECT, gossypiboma can be seen as a heterogenous mass containing radio-opaque structures surrounded by enhancing capsules [6]. In some cases, the air foci can be seen within the lesion on CT, as seen in the present case [6].…”

In some cases, the air foci can be seen within the lesion on CT, as seen in the present case [6]. On MRI, the lesions have low to intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images [13].…”
