Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a condition that most commonly affects aging women. Synthetic mid-urethral slings (MUS) have become the most common surgical treatment for SUI; however, complications such as mesh erosion and dyspareunia have been reported. This case report describes an 84-year-old female who presented with a tumor-like mass giant cell reaction surrounding the MUS and the management of this mass.
