case_images: Chest radiography revealed an 85 x 64 mm mass shadow in the right upper lung field (Fig. 1a). Moreover, chest computed tomography (CT) revealed gauze fragments with calcification within the mass (Fig. 1b). Two years after the initial assessment, the mass increased to 108 x 90 mm (Fig. 1c), resulting in tracheal compression (Fig. 1d).

case_images: Since the CT scan on postoperative day (POD)-2 showed insufficient removal of gauze (Fig. 2a), reoperation was performed on the same day. After skin closure, CT was performed to confirm the outcome (Fig. 2b). The Five months postoperatively, chest radiography showed that the granuloma had shrunk to 102 x 90 mm (Fig. 2c).
