A remnant suture can mimic malignancy after total thyroidectomy.

Abstract:

:Foreign body reactions may develop against exogenous or certain endogenous materials. Cases of suture granuloma that develop against nonabsorbable suture material are rare complications of thyroid surgery. Because of these postoperative complications, a history of cancer prior to the operation suggests recurrence of cancer. Appropriate clinical, radiological, and pathological evaluation is highly important in such cases. Postoperative foreign bodies may remain undetected for years, but they sometimes cause lethal complications. KEY WORDS:Cancer mimicking, Foreign body, Suture granuloma, Thyroid surgery. :In presenza di materiali esogeni introdotti nel corso di interventi chirurgici può svilupparsi una reazione da corpo estraneo. Nel caso della chirurgia della tiroide in corrispondenza delle allacciature vascolari con filamenti non assorbibili può svilupparsi raramente questo tipo di reazione, che in caso di sospetto di natura neoplastica dell’intervento effettuato può ingenerare il dubbio che possa trattarsi di una recidiva. In tali casi è molto importante un’indagine clinica, radiologica ed il nuovo controllo istopatologico. Il corpo estraneo può rimanere ignorato per anni, ma talvolta può provocare complicazioni negative.
