A single case report exists pertaining to suture material use in ferrets (Petterino et al. 2010). An intraabdominal malignant mesenchymoma was removed from a 6 year old spayed female ferret. The mass originated at the area of the previous ovariectomy performed five years previously. Histopathologic examination showed a mixed population of neoplastic cells, and nonabsorbable suture material was admixed with the neoplastic tissue. A chronic inflammatory reaction to the suture may have played a role in tumor development. Unfortunately, the type of suture implanted was not determined.
