Description

Background. The development of a foreign body granuloma on the staple-line after pulmonary resection is rare. Case. A 64-year-old man underwent a left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in 1997 and wedge resection of the left lung for metastatic renal cell carcinoma in 2010. In 2011, 8 months after the resection, a computed tomography scan revealed a pulmonary nodule on the staple-line. The nodule was considered to be malignant, and therefore we performed a second wedge resection of the left lung. Histopathologically, this nodule was found to be a foreign body granuloma. Conclusion. Local recurrence or secondary primary lung cancer, and numerous cases of mycobacterial granuloma on the staple-line after pulmonary resection have been reported. However, a foreign body granuloma on the staple-line appears to be very rare.<br>
