Textiloma is a rare complication of thoracic surgery. A 41- year-old male underwent surgery for bullous disease. A follow- up chest radiograph showed a mass lesion in the lower zone of the left hemithorax. Computed tomography-guided transthoracic biopsy was performed and the histopathological result was reported as suture material. The foreign body was removed with thoracotomy.
