[A long-time presence of a foreign body in an episiotomy scar].
OBJECTIVE
The object of our study was a long-time presence of a foreign body in an episiotomy scar.


METHODS
A case of 46-year old woman with a palpable tumour in a perineal region is described.


RESULTS
This false tumour was caused by a surgical needle which was left in the body of the patient 19 years ago during the episiorrhaphy after the last labour.


CONCLUSIONS
Because of a character and localisation of the change the method of choice was surgical treatment which completely eliminated all symptoms.
