ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pilonidal sinus (CPNS) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting from hair penetration into the epidermis. Atypical pilonidal sinus is a pilonidal sinus of areas other than sacrococcygeal site. The aim of this study is to report another rare type of atypical PNS which is neck pilonidal sinus.
Case Report: A 20-year-old female presented with chronic multiple sinuses in the posterior part of neck that associated with yellowish discharge for about one year. On examination, there were about 10 openings on the nape of her neck with surrounding skin erythema. The excision of sinuses was performed under local anesthesia. Wound was closed by layers, histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of pilonidal sinus. After two months of follow-up the wound was acceptable with clear margins.
Conclusion: Neck PNS is another type of atypical PNS presenting with multiple discharging sinuses. Excision with primary closure is the definitive management therapy.

Keywords: Atypical pilonidal sinus, Discharging sinus, Neck
