  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Pilonidal sinus typically affects the sacrococcygeal region.
  • Congenital versus acquired etiology remains a diagnostic challenge.

Observation:

  • A unique case presented with a pilonidal sinus located on the nasal dorsum.
  • Clinical and histopathological examination suggested a congenital origin.

Findings:

  • En bloc excision was successfully performed using an external rhinoplasty technique.
  • Post-operative follow-up revealed no evidence of disease recurrence.

Implications:
