 Surgeons in Japan thought they were removing a tumor from a 49-year-old man who was suffering from abdominal pain in late May.

Instead, they found a 25-year-old surgical towel that had crumpled into what looked like a softball-shaped tumor, Agence France-Presse reported.

The patient apparently had been carrying the cloth since 1983, when surgeons left it in him after minor ulcer surgery.

He went to Asahi General Hospital in late May after suffering pain. Doctors, at the time, found what they believed to be an 8-centimeter tumor.

According to an Asahi General Hospital spokesman: "The towel was greenish-blue although we are not sure about its original color."

Wow!

I had to go back in after gallbladder surgery because they "forgot" to take all that they put in .. out.   Thank goodness it was just a month and not 25 years!

I hope they got everything out and didn't leave anything in there this time. Who knows what he will find 25 years later.

Jane, I am not a neat freak ... I just was blessed the ability to totally kick laundry ass!  And no neat freak for me, uh huh.  I was gone so ZimKandace of One Crazy Chick monitored FFF for me today and she was afraid of my inbox because it was so scary and messy!
