摘要: We present the case of a 57-year-old woman with pulmonary suture abscess. She had undergone right S3 segmentectomy for early lung adenocarcinoma 7 years before and breast-conserving surgery invasive ductal carcinoma 5 months previously, followed by irradiation plus endocrine therapy. Chest radiography computed tomography revealed an irregular mass (3.5 cm in diameter) between residual S1 segment middle lobe, neighboring staple line segmentectomy. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake into increased, seen positron emission scans. Therefore, we could not rule out possibility local recurrence cancer resected it. Pathologically microbiologically, was abscess arising around nylon previous This lesion result foreign-body reaction, as confirmed polarized microscopy. Moreover, titanium staples at may also have contributed to this condition.
