Abstract

Despite its rarity, pilonidal sinus (PNS) in atypical locations poses significant diagnostic challenges, underscoring the need for early identification and appropriate treatment strategies. This case highlights a rare occurrence of a PNS in the axilla, emphasizing the importance of recognizing uncommon presentations of common ailments. A 27-year-old male presented with a 13-year history of painless axillary discharge, diagnosed with PNS based on clinical evaluation. Surgical excision under local anesthesia successfully treated the condition, showcasing the effectiveness of tailored management in addressing rare presentations of PNS. Surgical therapy for axillary pilonidal sinus enables complete resection and provides precise histopathological diagnoses, making it a suitable treatment option, particularly for cases involving atypical locations.
