A suture or stitch granuloma is a recognised complication of surgical procedures. This entity needs to be considered in a patient with a previous history of surgery presenting with a mass, as it may simulate a soft-tissue tumour. Although inguinal hernias and their repair are common, a suture or stitch granuloma is a rare complication of inguinal herniorrhaphy. This report describes a patient with a suture granuloma mimicking an urachal tumour following inguinal herniorrhaphy.
