Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The object of our study was a long-time presence of a foreign body in an episiotomy scar.
STUDY DESIGN: 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.
CONCLUSION: Because of a character and localisation of the change the method of choice was surgical treatment which completely eliminated all symptoms.
