Article Synopsis
  • - Sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease is characterized by a recurring abscess or draining sinus in the sacrococcygeal area, making it a challenging surgical condition.
  • - Although rare, this chronic condition can lead to serious complications such as malignant transformation, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
  • - The case discussed involves an 84-year-old man with a 28-year history of a persistent sacrococcygeal sinus, who developed an ulceroproliferative growth following multiple surgeries for the same issue.

The umbilical pilonidal sinus (UPS) is a rare clinical entity and is not easily diagnosed unless there is a high suspicion. Pilonidal sinuses are most frequently seen around the gluteal cleft, but occasionally can be observed on other areas of the body, including the breast, webs of fingers, axilla and umbilicus. UPS is one of the rarest subtypes.

Methods: Sixteen volunteers underwent measurements of skin-stretching, pressure, and shear stress on the sacrum when sitting relative to standing.
