Suture materials can cause changes or artefacts that can occasionally raise doubts in the differential diagnosis of tumour processes or of any other nature. During the performance of an autopsy, the forensic pathologist may find a mass in organs, tissues or vessels that may lead him to think about a tumoral process, and the histopathological diagnosis surprise him with tissue reaction caused by suture material.
