A pilonidal sinus is a blind-end tract lined with granulation tissue, which leads to a cystic cavity lined with epithelial tissue. As the name suggests, these hair containing abscesses are usually found in the sacro-coccygeal region. However, they may also occasionally occur in the axilla, groin, inter-digital web, umbilicus, nose, inter-mammary areas, supra-pubic area, clitoris, prepuce, penis, occiput, and on the feet. Sinus is caused by the friction of the skin at the base of the spine, leading to the embedding of the hair beneath the surface. The hair forms small cavities or pits, which are in truth, enlarged hair follicles, which go on to become sinuses. Bacteria and debris enter this sterile area, producing local inflammation and formation of pus-filled abscesses. In chronic condition, the sinus becomes an open cavity, constantly draining small amounts of fluid. In this case report we present a case of umbilical pilonidal sinus in a young boy.
藏毛窦是一种内衬肉芽组织的盲端管道，通向一个内衬上皮组织的囊性腔隙。顾名思义，这些含毛发的脓肿通常位于骶尾区域。然而，它们偶尔也可能出现在腋窝、腹股沟、指间蹼、脐部、鼻子、乳房间区域、耻骨上区域、阴蒂、包皮、阴茎、枕部和足部。窦道是由脊柱底部皮肤的摩擦引起的，导致毛发嵌入皮肤表面以下。毛发形成小腔或小坑，实际上是扩大的毛囊，进而发展成窦道。细菌和碎屑进入这个无菌区域，引起局部炎症并形成充满脓液的脓肿。在慢性情况下，窦道变成一个开放的腔隙，不断排出少量液体。在本病例报告中，我们呈现了一名小男孩脐部藏毛窦的病例。
