Abstract
An axillary mass caused by foreign body reaction post mastectomy is a rare occurrence and may pose a diagnostic challenge. We report our experience with a case of suture granuloma of the axilla mimicking recurrence in a patient with aggressive bilateral breast carcinoma. A 47-year-old female presented with left axillary swelling following bilateral modified radical mastectomy for carcinoma. Radiological and pathological investigations were equivocal. A provisional diagnosis of recurrence was made, and the swelling was excised. On histopathology it was found to be a suture granuloma.
