Intrathoracic suture abscess may occur around sutures on the pleura or in the lung parenchyma, although it is rare to encounter such cases clinically. We report on a 68-year-old woman with an intrathoracic (extrapulmonary) suture abscess, which was discovered on a chest X-ray film one year after right-middle lobectomy for early lung cancer. The abscess was removed surgically, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Pathological examination showed that it was caused by braided polyester sutures.
胸内缝线脓肿可发生于胸膜或肺实质的缝线周围，尽管临床上很少遇到这种病例。我们报告一例68岁女性的胸内（肺外）缝线脓肿，该脓肿是在因早期肺癌行右中叶切除术后一年的胸部X光片上发现的。脓肿通过手术切除，术后过程顺利。病理检查显示其由编织聚酯缝线引起。
