Abstract
A 59-year-old woman had undergone a Miles operation for rectal cancer in June 2002. In June 2004, she had undergone wedge resection of the right S3 and S10 for metastatic lung cancers from rectal cancer. A chest CT scan detected a nodule in the right S10 5 years after the operation, and the size of the nodule increased during follow-up. SUV of the nodule was 1.9 on FDG-PET. We performed a wedge resection of the nodule for a diagnosis in August 2010. The pathologic diagnosis of the nodule was a foreign body granuloma. No bacterium, fungus, nor mycobacterium was detected on the culture of the nodule. The nodule seemed to have occurred due to disturbance of the ventilation and blood supply or the foreign body reactions.
