Abstract

Latince kökenli bir dilden gelen kıl "pilus" ve yuva "nidus" kelimelerinden türetilen pilonidal sinüs sakrokoksigeal bölgenin en sık görülen kronik edinsel bir hastalığıdır. Sakrokoksigeal bölge dışında aksillar bölge, umbilikal bölge, göğüs, boyun, skrotum, vulva ve çene gibi kıl yoğunluğunun yüksek olduğu bölgeler dışında atipik olarak yüz, burun, kafa derisi ve kulak gibi yerlerde de bulunabilmektedir. Bizim vakamızda doğuştan beri sağ kulak arkasında şişlik olan 42 yaşında erkek hasta sunuldu. Fizik muayenesinde sağ kulak arkasında yaklaşık 3 cm lik düzgün sınırlı, mobil, ağrısız ve yumuşak kıvamlı kitle lokal anestezi altında total olarak eksize edildi. Histopatolojik incelemede pilonidal sinüs olarak raporlandı. Olgu yerleşim yeri açısından literatür ışığında tartışıldı.

Rare Case of Postauricular Pilonidal Sinus

Abstract

Pilonidal sinus, which is derived from the words hair "pilus" and socket "nidus" from Latin language, is the most common chronic acquired disease of the sacrococcygeal region. Apart from the sacrococcygeal region, it can also be found atypically in areas such as the face, nose, scalp and ears, except in areas with high hair density such as the axillary region, umbilical region, chest, neck, scrotum, vulva and chin. In our case, a 42-year-old male patient with congenital swelling behind the right ear is presented. In the physical examination, a smooth-circumscribed, mobile, painless and soft mass of approximately 3 cm behind the right ear was totally excised under local anesthesia. It was reported as pilonidal sinus in the histopathological examination. The case was discussed in the light of the literature in terms of location
