A recurrent nuchal abscess, a rare neck lesion, was surgically removed and found to resemble pilonidal sinus through histopathology. This case suggests a potential rare presentation of pilonidal sinus in the neck region.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Recurrent nuchal abscesses can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Obesity is a known risk factor for various skin conditions.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old obese male presented with a recurrent abscess on his neck.
  • The lesion was treated with complete surgical excision.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination revealed significant similarities between the nuchal abscess and pilonidal sinus.
  • This suggests a potential rare anatomical presentation of pilonidal sinus.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known anatomical locations for pilonidal sinus.
  • Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis of extragluteal pilonidal sinuses.
