Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and disfiguring skin disease characterized by multiple abscesses and sinuses. Often it is not recognized early in this environment as a result of limited awareness of this condition. The author sought to review available knowledge on this condition and report a case currently being managed in a general surgery unit. Literature search was conducted using the Google search engine and a patient who presented to the author's unit is presented. In conclusion, hidradenitis suppurativa is a distressing disease. High index of suspicion and relevant investigations would improve early diagnosis; several options are available for treatment with good outcome depending on the stage of the disease.
化脓性汗腺炎是一种慢性且毁容性的皮肤病，其特征为多发性脓肿和窦道。由于对这种疾病的认识有限，在这种环境下它往往不能早期被识别。作者试图回顾关于这种疾病的现有知识，并报告一例目前正在普通外科病房治疗的病例。使用谷歌搜索引擎进行了文献检索，并介绍了一名到作者所在科室就诊的患者。总之，化脓性汗腺炎是一种令人痛苦的疾病。高度的怀疑指数和相关检查将有助于早期诊断；根据疾病阶段，有几种治疗选择可供选择，且疗效良好。
