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</ref>Volleamere, AJ.; Kirwan, CC. (Mar 2013). "National survey of breast cancer specimen orientation marking systems.". Eur J Surg Oncol 39 (3): 255-9. doi:10.1016/j.ejso.2012.12.008. PMID 23287819.</ref> and/or mark the true surgical margin.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Glassy appearance - sharply circumscribed.
- +/-Tearing surrounding tissue.
- Foreign body-type granulomas with multinucleated giant cells.
