| Core Tip |
We report a rare case of a large foreign body-associated reactive mass presenting 20 years after surgery for perforated appendicitis. The lesion mimicked a gastrointestinal stromal tumor on contrast-enhanced computed tomography, leading to diagnostic uncertainty. Surgical resection and histopathological evaluation revealed a chronic foreign body-type inflammatory reaction, in which microscopic foreign materials were identified despite the absence of a grossly identifiable foreign body. This case illustrates a potential diagnostic pitfall and emphasizes the need to consider postoperative inflammatory and foreign body-associated lesions in the differential diagnosis of large intra-abdominal masses. |
