Misdiagnosed paranasal gossypiboma: a 10-year experience with 21 cases at a tertiary center.

CONCLUSIONS: A history of endoscopic nasal surgery, especially performed at a primary hospital, is a warning sign for clinicians. Computed tomography can add to the warning by showing a heterogeneous cystic lesion with a thin calcified shell. Clinicians should be aware of these characteristics to avoid misdiagnosing paranasal gossypiboma.
