| Summary: | Objective: To describe the clinical and radio-pathological features of suture granuloma, an inflammatory response to retained suture material that primarily affects non-absorbable sutures. Case report: We report a case of a 26-year-old female presenting with painful swelling at a caesarean section scar, previously excised for similar complaints. Physical examination revealed a solid soft tissue mass on the scar. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified a 2x2 cm lesion in the right abdominal wall, suggestive of suture granuloma. Surgical excision revealed prolene suture material within the granulomatous tissue. Histopathology confirmed foreign body reaction. Conclusion: Recurrence post-prior excision underscores the importance of complete granuloma removal. Differential diagnoses included scar endometriosis and inflammatory lesions. Suture granulomas, though rare, require consideration in scar-related swelling. Collaboration between specialties ensures accurate diagnosis and management. |
