Abstract:
A 5-year-old male child presented with nonhealing wound on the left scapular region. He had a history of multiple abscesses 8 months back. Incision and drainage were done for all abscesses in the same sitting at another hospital. All wounds healed except one of the scapular regions. The wound was explored and there was large cotton gauze inside the wound. The common causes of nonhealing of wound are tuberculosis, malignancy, and immunodeficiency. However, iatrogenic foreign body is also an important cause and should be considered in differential diagnosis. Careful history, wound examination, and radiological investigations are an important tool for diagnosis of retained foreign bodies. The scientific term for the retained foreign body is gossypiboma or textiloma.
摘要:
一名5岁的男孩在左肩胛骨区域出现未愈合的伤口。他有8个月前的多发性脓肿病史。在另一家医院的同一坐位中对所有脓肿进行了切开和引流。除一个肩胛骨区域外,所有伤口均已愈合。探查伤口,伤口内有大棉纱布。伤口不愈合的常见原因是肺结核,恶性肿瘤,和免疫缺陷。然而,医源性异物也是重要的病因,在鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。仔细的历史,伤口检查,和放射学检查是诊断残留异物的重要工具。保留的异物的科学术语是棉质瘤或质地瘤。
