Abstract

A pilonidal sinus is most commonly seen in the sacrococcygeal region. Here we describe a rare case of pilonidal sinus of the neck following trauma due to shaving. Excision of the sinus with primary repair resulted in complete healing of the lesion with no recurrence. The possible pathogenesis of this acquired condition is also discussed.


Key Words: Neck; Pilonidal Sinus.
