An 8 yr old spayed female Italian greyhound was presented with a mass in the cranial abdomen. Preliminary evaluation of the dog revealed a large, cavitary, irregularly shaped mass with no definitive association with any abdominal organs. During an exploratory celiotomy, a 16 cm × 12 cm × 6 cm mass was removed. On subsequent histopathology, extraskeletal osteosarcoma induced by a foreign body granuloma was diagnosed. The foreign body granuloma, based on histopathological findings, was suspected to be secondary to a retained surgical sponge from her routine ovariohysterectomy performed 7 yr prior to presentation. Animals with granulomas induced by foreign bodies can remain asymptomatic for years; however, those granulomas can progress to extraskeletal osteosarcomas, which carry a poor prognosis.

Foreign body granuloma caused by retained surgical sponge is also called gossypiboma or textiloma, is mostly described in the abdominal cavity, with only a very few cases of retained surgical sponges located in breasts. A 48-year-old female came to our emergency department due to shortness of breath with consciousness disturbance. Sixteen years previously, she had gone through modified radical mastectomy. Eight years later, she received breast reconstruction. At emergency department, her hemodynamic status was unstable. Besides, there was one mass lesion with abscess in the right axillary region, and percutaneous abscess drainage was performed. She was sent to the medical intensive care unit for further care of septic shock. Because her symptoms and signs did not improve, we decided to perform fasciectomy and surprisingly found one retained surgical sponge in her breast. After the operation, she recovered well and the wound was stable. Due to limited literature available, we present a case of gossypiboma in the breast with a clinical manifestation of septic shock.
