It is estimated that retained surgical foreign bodies occur one in every 5,500\u201318,760 inpatient operations but the incidence may be as high as one out of every 1,000\u20131,500 abdominal cavity operations, and even more common during emergency surgeries. There have also been rare case reports of Transmural migration of retained surgical swab which is a rare phenomenon. But even rarer is the incidence of retention of swab inside the small intestine in the previous procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 29-year-old female coming with chief complaints of pain in abdomen since 1 year which was colicky in nature, present all over abdomen, non-radiating. The pain aggravated on eating food. Patient also noticed a lump in her abdomen since past 1 year. Abdomen was opened and the bowel was inspected.
