The most common site reported is the abdominal cavity. It can present with abscess, intestinal obstruction, malabsorption, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and fistulas. A 37-year-old woman presented with pain in the right hypochondrium for 2 months following open cholecystectomy. As she did not improve with proton pump inhibitors, an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was done, which showed a possible gauze piece stained with bile in the first part of the duodenum. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the abdomen revealed an abnormal fistulous communication of the first part of duodenum with proximal transverse colon, with a hypodense, mottled lesion within the lumen of the proximal transverse colon plugging the fistula, suggestive of a gossypiboma. Excision of the coloduodenal fistula, primary duodenal repair, and feeding jejunostomy was done. The patient recovered well and is now tolerating normal diet. Coloduodenal fistula is usually caused by Crohn's disease, malignancy, right-sided diverticulitis, and gall stone disease. Isolated coloduodenal fistula due to gossypiboma has not been reported in the literature so far to the best of our knowledge. We report this case of coloduodenal fistula secondary to gossypiboma for its rarity and diagnostic challenge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-13-00057.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,26]],"date-time":"2014-03-26T20:44:34Z","timestamp":1395866674000},"page":"126-131","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Gossypiboma Presenting as Coloduodenal Fistula \u2013 Report of a Rare Case With Review of Literature"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Sarath Chandra","family":"Sistla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ananthakrishnan","family":"Ramesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vilvapathy Sengutuvan","family":"Karthikeyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duvuru","family":"Ram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheik Manwar","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raghavan Velayutham Sugi","family":"Subramaniam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"key":"i0020-8868-99-2-126-b01","series-title":"Edinburgh Med J","first-page":"624","article-title":"Case of cancer of the caecum, accompanied by with caecoduodenal and caecocolic fistulae","volume":"7","author":"Haldane\n              DR.","year":"1862","unstructured":"Haldane\n              DR. \n          \n          Case of cancer of the caecum, accompanied by with caecoduodenal and caecocolic fistulae.
