Abstract

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.

无声的入侵者：剖腹产疤痕中的复发性缝合肉芽肿。

目的：描述缝合肉芽肿的临床和放射病理学特征：描述缝合肉芽肿的临床和放射病理学特征，缝合肉芽肿是对残留缝合材料的一种炎症反应，主要影响非吸收缝合线：我们报告了一例 26 岁女性的病例，她因剖腹产疤痕处肿胀疼痛而就诊，该疤痕曾因类似主诉而被切除。体格检查发现疤痕处有一个实性软组织肿块。磁共振成像（MRI）发现右腹壁有一个 2x2 厘米的病变，提示为缝线肉芽肿。手术切除后发现肉芽肿组织内有普洛林缝合材料。组织病理学证实为异物反应：结论：先前切除术后的复发强调了彻底切除肉芽肿的重要性。鉴别诊断包括疤痕子宫内膜异位症和炎性病变。缝线肉芽肿虽然罕见，但需要考虑与疤痕相关的肿胀。各专科间的合作可确保诊断和治疗的准确性。
