Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare condition, constituting nearly 0.2% of all reproductive tract malignancies. The condition mainly affects the peri-menopausal population; however, it can occasionally be found in younger women and adolescents. Here, this is a case of a 20-year-old primiparous female who was referred to us with the main complaint of vaginal bleeding (menometrorrhagia), ongoing for 6 months after delivery. Her sonography report indicated a 5 cm intra-cavitary mass suspicious for myoma or placental polyp. Given the pathology report of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) on samples obtained through hysteroscopy and D&C, she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH+BSO). Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare uterine malignancy of mesenchymal origin that should be considered, even in very young patients.

Background: A variety of presentations may be manifested by retained sponge, including intestinal obstruction, intestinal fistula, malabsorption syndrome and chronic pain from adhesions; in some cases, it may have an asymptomatic clinical course.Case report: In a 41-year-old female, gravida 4 para 4, with a history of laparotomy performed for an ovarian adenocarcinoma three years prior to her referral, a gossypiboma was incidentally detected on follow up imaging. The gossypiboma was safely excised by a midline laparotomy.Conclusion: Asymptomatic gossypiboma should be considered in patients presenting with a mass, who have undergone laparotomy in the past.
