Circumferential perianal pilonidal sinuses.

B A Taylor, L E Hughes

    Diseases of the Colon and Rectum
    |February 1, 1984

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pilonidal sinus disease can directly affect perianal skin, causing recurrent suppuration and anal fibrosis. This condition may be linked to prior surgical interventions, impacting anal structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Proctology
    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Recurrent perianal suppuration presents a diagnostic challenge.
    • Pilonidal sinus disease typically affects the sacrococcygeal region.
    • Understanding atypical presentations is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of recurrent perianal suppuration were analyzed.
    • Pilonidal sinus disease was identified as the underlying pathology in both cases.
    • The disease directly impacted the perianal skin, leading to complications.

    Findings:

    • Intersphincteric fibrosis was observed as a consequence.
    • A subcutaneous track encircling the anus developed in one patient.
    • Direct perianal skin involvement by pilonidal sinus disease is a rare occurrence.

    Implications:

    • This presentation broadens the differential diagnosis for perianal suppuration.
    • Previous surgery may play a role in the pathogenesis of this condition.
    • Further investigation into the relationship between pilonidal sinus disease and perianal pathology is warranted.
