A 48-year-old woman who had undergone cholecystectomy two years earlier, was referred to our service for intestinal obstruction. She complained of upper colic abdominal pain in the form of colic, vomiting and palpable epigastric mass. She also reported hyporexia and a 20-kg body weight loss associated with dyspepsia and episodes of hiccuping. Upper endoscopy showed surgical textiloma in the stomach (Figure 1). The textiloma in gastric lumen was pulled out through a gastrostomy (Figure 2).
