The development of suture granuloma is a chronic process and includes multinucleated giant cell formation. It has two step process including the initial reaction of tissue inflicted the passage of the needle and specific inflammatory reaction of the suture material. There is no pathognomonic imaging modality fort he diagnosis of suture granuloma. Surgery is used to for the diagnosis and eradication of the inflammation.
