Umbilical Pilonidal Sinus: A Case Report

Abstract

Pilonidal sinus disease is a recurrent and chronic disorder that can be observed in the periumbilical area although commonly seen in sacrococygeal region. Sinus excision with reconstruction of the umbilicus is a surgical option for treatment of umbilical pilonidal sinus disease. We report a case of 21-year-old male patient with umbilical pilonidal sinus that was treated by sinus excision with reconstruction of the umbilicus, which is an agreeable and alternative treatment option of umbilectomy.
