    Suture granulomas, a complication of gastric surgery using nonabsorbable sutures, can mimic cancer on X-rays. Using absorbable sutures could prevent these granulomas and other issues like ulcers and adhesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Nonabsorbable suture materials used in gastric surgery can lead to complications.
    • Suture granulomas are a known, though often asymptomatic, consequence.

    Observation:

    • Radiological findings of suture granulomas can resemble gastric neoplasms.
    • Four cases of suture granulomas post-gastric surgery are presented.

    Findings:

    • Suture granulomas present a diagnostic challenge due to their potential to mimic malignancy.
    • Diagnostic criteria for suture granulomas are outlined.

    Implications:

    • Recognition of suture granulomas is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary reoperations.
    • The adoption of completely absorbable suture materials is advocated to prevent suture granulomas and related complications such as suture-line ulcers, abscesses, and adhesions.
