introduction : the term textiloma is used to describe foreign body ( swab ) forgotten during surgery . 
 we do nt know any case of the description of endoscopic ultrasonography ( eus ) for intra - abdominal textiloma.objectives:to determine the eus capabilities in the topical diagnosis of intra - abdominal textiloma.materials and methods : patient , female , 57-year - old was admitted to our hospital with post - operative hernia . 
 10 months before the patient underwent surgery ( laparotomy , splenectomy ) in another hospital . for ethical reasons , we do not name that hospital . 
 intra - abdominal lesion has been accidentally revealed by computed tomography during the pre - operative examination prior to hernioplasty . 
 ultrasound unclear detected hyperechoic lesion with a dense acoustic shadow . 
 the patient was sent to the eus to clarify the diagnosis and to determine the topography of the lesion , fine - needle aspiration  if required.results : eus revealed a hyperechoic corrugated border of the lesion with a dense acoustic shadow  between the gastric wall and the lower surface of the liver . 
 taking into account preceding surgery eus suspected textiloma . 
 the patient underwent hernioplasty and revision of the abdominal cavity . 
 textiloma has been revealed between the stomach and liver.conclusion:eus correctly diagnosed textiloma and accurately determined its location .
