This study is a case report on a 49-year-old woman who had a gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy for pStage IIIa gastric cancer. Shortly after a 12-month course of adjuvant chemotherapy, CT showed a nodule adjacent to the gallbladder. High (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation was detected, with a standardized uptake value of 10. Therefore, laparoscopic excision was performed for diagnosis and treatment. The histopathological finding was suture granuloma. Suture granulomas with high standardized uptake values on PET scans are uncommon and often cause surgeons to provide an inaccurate diagnosis. Our study suggests that suture granuloma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a new or recurrent mass detected in patients with a history of prior surgery; however, surgeons must bear in mind that false-positive fluorodeoxyglucose-PET results can be observed in suture granuloma.

Utility of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of postoperative complications following upper extremity tendon repair.

Operated tendons are impacted by an inciting trauma and the subsequent treatment and will never again appear as they were prior to the insult. Post-operative tendons have unique ultrasound (US) findings that can be helpful to the surgeon in evaluating the success of repair, status of healing and confirmation that the repair remains intact. The advantage of US over physical exam or other imaging modalities is that it offers both static and dynamic assessment.

Background: A pyogenic granuloma (PG) represents a swiftly proliferating benign vascular tumor situated in the skin or subcutaneous tissue, commonly observed as a reactive lesion in the orofacial area. This research intended to scrutinize the clinicopathological characteristics of pyogenic granulomas in the oral and maxillofacial region.
Methods: Seventy two participants, comprising 24 men (33%) and 48 women (67%), underwent surgical ablation of pyogenic granuloma in oral and maxillofacial regions utilizing 940nm and 980nm diode lasers.
