Core Tip	We reported a case of foreign body retained in liver 39 years post perihepatic gauze packing. To our knowledge, this seems to be the longest time and first report of gossypiboma post gauze packing in literature. We classified foreign bodies retained in liver as 3 categories: penetrating, medical and migrated foreign bodies. Also, we presented a comprehensive review, which may greatly help a surgeon make clinical decision when patients presented with hepatic mass.
