Intermammary pilonidal sinus (PNS) is rare, affecting young, obese women. Surgical resection and primary closure is the primary treatment, with a 25% recurrence rate observed in this case series.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Pilonidal sinus (PNS) typically affects the sacrococcygeal area.
  • Intermammary pilonidal sinus is an exceptionally rare variant.
  • This study focuses on the clinical presentation and management of intermammary PNS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of intermammary pilonidal sinus.
  • To outline the management strategies for intermammary pilonidal sinus.
  • To report on the outcomes of surgical interventions for intermammary PNS.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective multicenter case series was conducted.
  • Data were collected from 5 tertiary hospitals in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
  • Histopathological confirmation of intermammary PNS was the inclusion criterion.

Main Results:

  • The study included 12 female patients, aged 13-29 years.
  • All patients were obese (BMI 30.1-32.2 kg/m²).
  • Common misdiagnosis was infected sebaceous cyst; resection and primary closure was performed in 75% of cases, with a 25% recurrence rate.

Conclusions:

  • Intermammary PNS predominantly affects young, obese women with large breasts.
  • Resection and primary closure is the recommended management approach.
  • Further research may be needed to understand recurrence factors.
