Textiloma is unusual and uncommon diagnosis which is rarely considered . We report the case of a 13 year -old patient with Holt-Oram syndrome . He was operated on in 2006 for ostium secundum atrial septal defect . The postoperative course was uneventful until 2010 when the child presented paroxysmal dyspnoea . Investigations revealed para-cardiac mass which was thought to be a hydatid cyst , but operative findings showed textiloma .
