Amaç: Pilonidal sinüs hastalığı yaygın olmasına rağmen, ilişkili malignite gelişimi çok nadirdir. Cerrahi tedaviden sonra çoğu cerrah eksizyon materyalini histopatolojik inceleme için gönderir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, pilonidal sinüs cerrahi eksizyon materyalinin rutin olarak histopatolojik incelemeye gönderilmesinin önemini incelemekti.

Araçlar ve Yöntem: Genel cerrahi kliniğine elektif olarak başvuran 18 yaş üstü hastaların hepsi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik bilgileri kaydedilmiş ve tüm hastalardan alınan histopatolojik örneklerin sonuçları incelendi. Malign ve benign olarak ikiye ayrıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 665 hastanın 551’i (%82.85) erkek, 114’ü (%17.15) kadın idi. Histopatolojik incelemede maligniteye rastlanmadı.

Sonuç: Bu çalışmada histopatolojik olarak malignite raporlanmadı. Bu sonuca göre; cerrahi eksizyon numunesinin rutin olarak histopatolojik incelenmesinin gerekli olup olmadığının düşünülmesi sorusunu doğrulamaktadır.

The Importance of Histopathological Examination of the Surgical Spesimen in Pilonidal Sinus Disease

Öz

Purpose: Although pilonidal sinus disease is common, associated malignancy is very rare. After surgical treatment, most surgeons send the excision material for histopathological examination. The aim of this study was to examine the importance of routinely sending pilonidal sinus surgical excision material for histopathological examination for this examination.

Materials and Methods: All patients aged 18 and above who applied to the general surgery clinic electively were included in the study. Demographic information of the patients was recorded and the results of histopathological samples taken from all patients were analyzed, categorizing them as either malignant or benign.

Results: In the study, out of the 665 patients included, 551 (82.85%) were male, while 114 (17.15%) were female. Histopathological examination did not reveal any malignancy.

Conclusion: No malignancy was reported histopathologically in this study. According to this result; This confirms the question of whether routine histopathological examination of the surgical excision specimen should be considered.
