Area of Science:

  • Medical Case Reports
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pilonidal sinus commonly affects the sacrococcygeal region.
  • Acquired pilonidal sinus is rare and often associated with specific trauma or occupational factors.

Observation:

  • A rare instance of pilonidal sinus on the neck is described.
  • The condition developed following trauma from shaving.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the cervical pilonidal sinus was performed.
  • Primary repair of the surgical site resulted in complete healing.
  • No recurrence of the pilonidal sinus was observed post-operatively.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the possibility of acquired pilonidal sinus in unusual locations.

  • Understanding the pathogenesis of acquired pilonidal sinus is crucial for prevention and treatment.
  • Further research into non-sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is warranted.
