    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old male with a intra-pulmonary suture abscess was admitted with recurrent hemoptysis. Five year before this admission, he had undergone a partial resection of the left upper lobe for pneumothorax using unabsorbable sutures (braided polyester). Chest CT showed tumor shadow in the left S1(+2) a on admission. Because of recurrent hemoptysis, left upper lobectomy was performed. Hemoptysis was due to the presence of a suture abscess. Pathological and clinical analysis of the intra-pulmonary suture abscess showed that it was caused not only by foreign body reaction but also transbronchial infection.
