  • Title: Infected suture granuloma simulating mass of urachal origin: case report.
    Author: Katz PG, Crawford JP, Hackler RH.
    Journal: J Urol; 1986 Apr; 135(4):782-3. PubMed ID: 3959202.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of an infected suture granuloma. The patient presented with a solid mass located superior to the dome of the bladder. Evaluation showed a normal intestinal tract and absence of a primary bladder abnormality. Based on these findings the mass was considered to be of urachal origin but surgical excision revealed that the mass was an infected suture granuloma. Suture granuloma should be considered in patients who have had previous inguinal surgery, particularly when associated with the use of nonabsorbable suture.
