Suture material is occasionally seen under the microscope. It is usually easy to identified and typically polarizes.
General
- Suture are often used to orient a specimen[1] and/or mark the true surgical margin.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Glassy appearance - sharply circumscribed.
- +/-Tearing surrounding tissue.
- +/-Foreign body-type granulomas with multinucleated giant cells.
- Seen only if the suture has been in place for at least several days.
Images
Suture material adjacent to a SFT.
