Introduction Among young male adults, sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (SPSD) is a prevalent condition. There are several possibilities for treatment, including both conservative and surgical methods. Medical supervision or conservative management is not the cutting-edge and preferred management nowadays. Although not fatal, it negatively impacts young people\'s quality of life in terms of schooling and means of subsistence and is socially awkward. Method About 10 individuals in this case series have serous drainage from the sinus in the sacral region, which is a common symptom. The patients were entitled to a full recovery from their illness. In all these patients, the Limberg flap procedure was recommended, and just one patient out of 10 had a minimal infection. Every patient was satisfied with how the surgery turned out. Overall, the Limberg flap (rhomboid flap) approach is becoming the norm for care since it has a lower rate of recurrence, fewer postoperative problems, and a shorter learning curve. Result Flap necrosis instances were absent in all the cases. And out of 10 cases, one patient came with a surgical site infection during the follow-up, suggesting a complication rate of 10%. Conclusion For the treatment of primary pilonidal illness, rhomboid excision utilising the Limberg transpositional fasciocutaneous flap technique is seen as a safer option that encompasses numerous sinuses. It requires less time in the hospital and has fewer postoperative problems.

BACKGROUND: To date, only a limited number of case reports have documented the co-occurrence of PNS and melanocytic nevus in the medical literature. This study aims to report an exceptionally rare case of posterior chest wall PNS in conjunction with a melanocytic nevus.
METHODS: A 46-year-old female presented with a long-standing black lesion on her left upper posterior chest wall, that had become painful in the two months prior to presentation. There was a painful, dark blue, non-erythematous, and non-tender nodule on the left upper posterior chest wall. Based on the patient\'s desire for cosmetic purposes, the lesion was excised totally with primary closure under local anaesthesia. Histopathological examination revealed intradermal melanocytic nevus with inflamed pilonidal sinus.
CONCLUSIONS: The rarity of posterior chest wall PNS associated with nevi poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for clinicians. The distinct anatomical location, different from the conventional region, and the rare association between the two conditions may delay accurate diagnosis and result in mismanagement or inappropriate interventions.
CONCLUSIONS: The posterior chest wall PNS is another type of atypical PNS that is extremely rare. The association between PNS and blue nevus is a fascinating medical finding that deserves further investigation.

Pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a common occurrence in young men. It is often caused by blockage of the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles in the sacrococcygeal area. Hemophilia type A is a hemorrhagic disorder caused by a deficiency of factor VIII. It presents with excessive bleeding, either spontaneously or secondary to trauma. The mainstay of treatment for PNS is often excision of the sinus; however, recently, laser ablation has started to be commonly used. In this article, we present a case of a young man with hemophilia A presenting with recurrent PNS successfully managed with laser ablation with no complications.

BACKGROUND: Pilonidal sinus is a condition that causes inflammation and abscesses in the sacral region and affects adolescents and young adults. The etiology of this condition remains controversial.
METHODS: A six year old boy was observed to have an orifice in the frontonasal region which contained hair. He had two previous infections which were treated with antibiotics. Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed no cranial malformations. Surgery was performed under general anesthesia and the pilonidal sinus was completely excised. At follow-up the child was in good health.
UNASSIGNED: This case in a child with a frontonasal skin anomaly highlights that skin anomalies may be a cause of pilonidal sinus.
CONCLUSIONS: Skin malformations can be the underlying cause of pilonidal sinus in some cases.

OBJECTIVE: Pilonidal sinus of the hand is an occupational hazard for barbers, cow milkers, sheep shearers and dog groomers. Here, we report on a dog groomer who had four pilonidal sinuses.
METHODS: A 49-year-old woman working as a dog groomer complained of multiple non-erythematous and fluctuant nodules on both hands, associated with pain, which had been identified five years previously. On the skin of her right hand, three nodules were observed on the volar (diameter: 1.5 cm) and medial (diameter: 1.4 cm) sides of fifth metacarpophalangeal joint and the volar aspect of the distal phalanx of the small finger (diameter: 0.7 cm). On the left hand, a 2-cm diameter nodule was identified on the volar side of the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint region. The nodules were excised surgically. A 5-mm long hair was removed from one nodule. Histopathology confirmed pilonidal sinus, treated by excision. One month postoperatively, the wound had healed uneventfully.
CONCLUSIONS: When nodules are found in dog groomers, clinicians should consider the possibility of pilonidal sinus disease.

We report an unusual case of the vulval sinus with persistent seroanguinous discharge in a 59-year-old postmenopausal woman. Examination revealed a 9-cm isolated sinus tract in the right labiocrural fold. This sinus tract was excised under anesthesia. Histological analysis showed skin with a deep dermal sinus tract showing edematous and heavily inflamed granulation tissue. There was no evidence of malignancy or dysplasia. Hidradenitis was ruled out on histology. This case report summarizes the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment involving complete excision of the vulval sinus to reduce long-term morbidity and consequences of this rare entity.

UNASSIGNED: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising in a sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus is rare, with cases of metastatic disease being even rarer. Among published cases, almost none have reported on systemic treatment.
UNASSIGNED: This disease has a poorer prognosis than other forms of cutaneous SCC; therefore, our objective is to shed some light on the treatment of metastatic disease.
UNASSIGNED: We present a series of nine cases treated at a single center, four of whom received systemic treatment. Additionally, other previously reported cases of metastatic disease are included in an attempt to draw stronger conclusions.
UNASSIGNED: Four patients were treated under several treatment regimens, with a median progression-free survival of only 2 months and two instances of partial response (18%). The best result was achieved with cemiplimab. Across all the cases, there was a trend toward a benefit of the use of systemic treatment (HR 0.41, 95% CI 0.15-1.12, p = 0.083; median overall survival 13 vs. 8 months).
UNASSIGNED: Limitations include the significant lack of information on previously published cases and the extremely heterogeneous nature of the existing information.
UNASSIGNED: The initial systemic treatment should be an anti-PD-1, as with other SCCs. After progression on anti-PD-1, there is no strong evidence to support the recommendation of a specific treatment or sequence: options include cetuximab and/or chemotherapy (platinum, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracyl).

UNASSIGNED: This is the first demonstrated case in which terminal hairs that resembled occipital hairs and ranged from 2 to 13 cm in length were extracted from a patient with primary pilonidal sinus disease. This case provides evidence that occipital hairs may enter the pilonidal sinus and perhaps also play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Dear Editor, Pilonidal cyst disease is a common, acquired, inflammatory disease predominantly affecting the natal clefts of the buttocks (1,2). The disease has a predilection for men, with a male-to-female ratio of 3-4:1. Patients are generally young, towards the end of second decade of life. Lesions are initially asymptomatic, while the development of complications such as abscess formation is associated with pain and discharge (1). Patients with pilonidal cyst disease may present to dermatology outpatient clinics, especially when the disease is asymptomatic. Herein we report the dermoscopic features of four cases of pilonidal cyst disease encountered in our dermatology outpatient clinic. Four patients who presented to our dermatology outpatient department for evaluation of a solitary lesion on buttocks were diagnosed with pilonidal cyst disease based on clinical and histopathological examination. All patients were young men and presented with solitary, firm, pink, nodular lesions in the region in proximity to the gluteal cleft (Figure 1, a, c, e). Dermoscopy of the first patient revealed a red structureless area in the central part of the lesion, consistent with ulceration. Additionally, white lines reticular as well as glomerular vessels were present at the periphery on the pink homogenous background (Figure 1, b). In the second patient, a yellow structureless central ulcerated area was surrounded by linearly arranged multiple dotted vessels at the periphery on a homogenous pink background (Figure 1, d). In the third patient, dermoscopy revealed a central yellowish structureless area with peripherally arranged hairpin and glomerular vessels (Figure 1, f). Lastly, similar to the third case, dermoscopic examination of the fourth patient showed a pink homogenous background with yellow and white structureless areas and peripherally arranged hairpin and glomerular vessels (Figure 2). Demographics and clinical features of the four patients are summarized in Table 1. Histopathology of all our cases revealed epidermal invagination and sinus formation, free hair shafts, and chronic inflammation with multinuclear giant cells. Histopathological slides of the first case can be seen in Figure 3 (a-b). All patients were referred to general surgery for treatment. The current knowledge pertaining to dermoscopy of pilonidal cyst disease is scarce in the dermatologic literature, and was previously evaluated in only two cases. Similar to our cases, the authors reported the presence of a pink-colored background, radial white lines, central ulceration, and multiple peripherally arranged dotted vessels (3). The dermoscopic features of pilonidal cysts differ from other epithelial cysts and sinuses. As for epidermal cysts, the presence of punctum and an ivory-white background color have been reported as characteristic dermoscopic findings (4,5). In addition, unruptured epidermal cysts reveal arborizing telangiectasia, while the ruptured epidermal cysts show peripheral linear branched vessels (4,5). A peripheral brown rim, linear vessels, and yellow homogenous background of the entire lesion have been reported as dermoscopic features of steatocystoma multiplex as well as milias (5). Of note, other cystic lesions mentioned above are typified by linear vessels, whereas pilonidal cysts present dotted, glomerular, and hairpin vessels. Pilonidal cyst disease must also be considered in the differential diagnosis of pink nodular lesions, along with amelanotic melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, pyogenic granuloma, lymphoma, and pseudolymphoma (3). Based on our cases and the two cases in the literature, pink background, central ulceration, peripherally arranged dotted vessels, and white lines seem to be common dermoscopic features of pilonidal cyst disease. Our observations demonstrate that central yellowish structureless areas along with peripheral hairpin and glomerular vessels are also among the dermoscopic features of pilonidal cyst disease. In conclusion, pilonidal cysts can be easily differentiated from other skin tumors by the aforementioned dermoscopic features, and the diagnosis in patients clinically suspected of having pilonidal cyst can be supported by dermoscopy. However, there is need for further studies in order to better characterize typical dermoscopic features of this disease and their frequency.

Pilonidal disease occurs most commonly in those males who have to sit long hours at their work place e.g. online office workers or drivers. It is caused by piercing of broken hairs into the sacrococcygeal region which causes localised inflammation. Inflammation in this area due to any other foreign body is very rare. Among many treatment options for pilonidal sinus, instillation of crystalloid phenol showed promising results in terms of low recurrence rates, low post-operative complications and less healing time. Here, we present the case of a 13-year-old female student who had pilonidal sinus in sacrococcygeal region for six months and was unresponsive to multiple treatments. Later, on exploration it was revealed to contain a small foreign body of 3cm of hard straw of grass. The patient was treated with crystalloid phenol and on regular follow-up she was completely fine by the end of the third week.
