Though polyglactin 910 suture-related pseudoinfection is well documented in the human literature, it has not been previously reported in the veterinary literature.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Case description<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 3-year-old female, ovariectomized but otherwise experimentally na\u00efve Yucatan pig was evaluated for a several week history of bilateral multifocal abscesses in the area of the paralumbar fossa, which continued to worsen despite oral antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. The multi-focal abscesses continued to worsen and additional diagnostics were pursued including cytology, culture (aerobic, anaerobic and fungal), and bloodwork. All supported a non-infectious etiology. Biopsy results indicated a suture-related pseudoinfection. Despite treatment including parenteral antibiotics, pain medications and superficial surgical debridement, the dermatologic lesions worsened. Euthanasia was elected. Post-mortem necropsy demonstrated a suture-related pseudoinfection with extrusion of suture material from the ovarian pedicle ligatures through the body wall and skin leading to numerous sterile abscesses in the bilateral paralumbar fossa.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This is the first published report of a significantly delayed polyglactin 910 suture-related pseudoinfection in a Yucatan pig. While likely an isolated incident, it supports further research into this area. Additionally for critical research studies using Yucatan pigs, pre-surgical assessment with hypersensitivity patch testing may be appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12917-020-02662-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]],"date-time":"2020-11-25T11:02:48Z","timestamp":1606302168000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Significantly delayed polyglactin 910 suture-related pseudoinfection in a Yucatan pig"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2484-1640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dalis","family":"Collins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Simons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2662_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"440","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.1987.tb00984.x","volume":"16","author":"LJ Freeman","year":"1987","unstructured":"Freeman LJ, Pettit GD, Robinette JD, Lincoln JD, Person MW.
