Key Words	Gossypiboma; Textiloma; Retained foreign object; Surgical sponge; Radiopaque marker
Core Tip	This case involved an unusual migration and placement of a retained surgical sponge; the retained sponge penetrated the intestinal submucosa and migrated to the sigmoid colon and rectum, causing formation of a fistula which had two openings. In this case, the importance of the radiopaque marker was reviewed. Surgical materials with radiopaque markers should be used, which make diagnosis significantly in suspected cases of material being left in the abdominal cavity. Without the radiopaque markers, diagnosis of a retained sponge is difficult, as was the situation in this case. We emphasize the importance of using radiopaque-labeled sponges in all abdominal operations and vigilant adherence to surgical material count in all procedures.
