Pilonidal disease consists of a hair-containing sinus or abscess
occurring most frequently in intergluteal cleft. This disease is
generally benign. Although very uncommon entity, it seems
reasonable to be aware of possible malignancy in longstanding
cases. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma in a 52-
year-old man, with a prolonged history of pilonidal disease
and ulceration since 3 months before referring to our clinic.
We excised the cyst, and the pathologic evaluation reported
moderate differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. So, reoperation
on the lesion site to excise a 2-cm margin was
performed and the defect was covered with Limberg cutaneus
flap. We recommend early excision of pilonidal cysts to
prevent possible malignant degeneration. Histological
examination of the excised materials to prevent missing rare
malignant cases is recommended.
