“…Silk suture, which is produced from silkworm larva and consists of protein fibers, is the most common non-absorbable suture material used. This silk suture is slowly degraded in the tissue over 2 years [6]. In the early postoperative period, an inflammation along the suture line can cause suppuration and sinus formation.…”

Varicocele is dilatation and tortuosity of the vessels in the pampiniform plexus of spermatic cord and occurs in 11.7% of adult men. Varicocelectomy may lead to various complications such as hydrocele, testicular atrophy, haematoma, infection, damage of nerves and recurrence. A 22-year-old man presented after varicocelectomy with a rare postoperative complication of a fistula. The fistula tract was removed en bloc. The patient had a history of varicocelectomy, suggesting suture reaction. The fact that it is a rare complication of varicocelectomy makes our case interesting.

PET-positive suture granuloma of abdominal wall 56 years post-appendicectomy mimicking recurrence of lymphoma

et al. 2023

We present a unique case of a positron emission tomography (PET)-positive suture granuloma deep to an appendicectomy abdominal wall scar from 56 years prior in a patient with treated lymphoma. The lesion was first detected 8 years ago on a PET scan for new diagnosis of follicular lymphoma, with stable appearances 6 and 7 years later at follow-up. Ultrasound-guided biopsy and flow cytometry of the specimen could not exclude an untreated or recurrent lymphoma; thus, the patient underwent resection of the right iliac fossa abdominal wall lesion. Histopathology results noted granulomatous inflammation surrounding foreign material. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged from surgical services. In this paper, we review the current literature and discuss the dilemma involved in the diagnosis and management of suture granulomas.
