title: Forget Me Not: A Case of Gossypiboma (Textiloma) Mimicking an Orbital Tumor.
abstract: Retained foreign bodies are not infrequent following surgical procedures and are associated with medico-legal issues. Gossypiboma following ocular surgeries is rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis of a postoperative patient presenting with pain or mass. We report on one such case of gossypiboma following surgical excision of lacrimal gland.
