Pilonidal sinus of the umbilicus is rarely reported, and there are only 17 reported cases. On reviewing the records from Jordan University Hospital, 24 patients who were treated surgically for a discharging umbilical sinus were found. Three patients had known causes for their umbilical sepsis, namely stitch sinus, urachal remnant and an umbilical polyp. Of the remaining 21 patients, seven had clinical and pathological evidence of hair in their umbilicus. Most of our patients were young men who presented with discharge, soreness or pain, swelling, and cellulitis. Treatment by umbilical excision, leaving the skin defect to heal by secondary intention, proved satisfactory. The resultant scar resembles a normal umbilicus.
脐部藏毛窦鲜有报道，仅有17例报告病例。回顾约旦大学医院的记录，发现有24例因脐部窦道流脓而接受手术治疗的患者。3例患者的脐部感染有已知病因，即缝线窦、脐尿管残余和脐息肉。在其余21例患者中，7例在脐部有毛发的临床和病理证据。我们的大多数患者为年轻男性，表现为流脓、酸痛或疼痛、肿胀和蜂窝织炎。通过脐部切除进行治疗，让皮肤缺损通过二期愈合，结果令人满意。形成的瘢痕类似正常脐部。
