The authors report a case of a mesenteric suture granuloma in a 12 year-old-girl who had a small bowel resection for a complicated intussusception at the age of 5 months. At later exploration a whitish round tumor located on the anti-mesenteric side of the intestine was found. Several small intestinal loops also abutted on the tumor. Pathologic examination showed fibrosis and a granuloma containing linear colored braided suture material with multinucleated giant cell. As mesenteric suture granulomas have a complex appearance and mimic a soft tissue tumor during imaging, it is important for a surgeon to know about this condition and to consider the history of previous surgery when evaluating the images of patients presenting with an abdominal or pelvic mass. Suture granulomas separate from previous suture sites have not been described in the literature.

Paraduodenal hernias are rare internal hernias in which the small intestine becomes trapped behind the mesentery of the colon. These hernias can lead to bowel obstruction and ischaemia, making early diagnosis and intervention crucial. Patients often exhibit non-specific symptoms, highlighting the importance of using CT imaging for diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- Gastroschisis is a birth condition where a baby’s organs stick out through a hole in their belly, and it can be really tough to treat, especially for tiny babies born early.
- A baby girl, born at just 29 weeks and weighing less than a kilogram, needed special surgery right after birth to help her belly hold her organs better.
- Although she faced serious health issues like infections and not gaining weight, she eventually got better and was able to go home after 142 days in the hospital.
