Abstract
A suture granuloma was resected which developed after segmentectomy of a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and radiologically mimicked a n eoplasm. This report emphasises that although the appearance of the le sion may be typical for malignancy, the possibility of a benign suture granuloma should be considered, especially if the lesion appears shor tly after surgery.
