Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pilonidal sinus is typically associated with the sacrococcygeal region.
  • Occupational factors can influence the development of certain skin conditions.

Observation:

  • A case of pilonidal sinus was identified in the finger-tip pulp of a male barber.
  • This specific anatomical location for pilonidal sinus is considered novel.

Findings:

  • The reported case represents the first instance of pilonidal sinus occurring in the finger-tip pulp.
  • The patient's occupation as a barber is noted as a potential contributing factor.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the known anatomical distribution of pilonidal sinus.
  • Further investigation may be warranted to understand occupational risks for atypical pilonidal sinus presentation.
