This case report focuses on 'headspin hole', a unique overuse injury in breakdancers caused by repetitive headspins. It manifests as a fibrous mass on the scalp, hair loss and tenderness. The literature on this condition is limited. We present a detailed case report of a male breakdancer in his early 30s who developed a noticeable scalp protuberance over 5 years of extensive head-spinning practice. MRI showed significant subgaleal fibrosis and thickening of the subcutis, consistent with the 'cone-head sign'. The patient underwent successful surgical tumour removal, leading to aesthetic improvement and symptom relief. Histological analysis showed extensive fibrosis with no malignancy. Postoperative follow-up indicated high patient satisfaction and a significant reduction of the mass. This case underscores the importance of recognising chronic scalp conditions in breakdancers and suggests that surgical intervention can be an effective treatment.
本病例报告聚焦于“头部旋转孔”,这是一种在霹雳舞舞者中由反复头部旋转引起的独特过度使用损伤。其表现为头皮上的纤维状肿块、脱发和触痛。关于这种情况的文献有限。我们报告了一个详细的病例,一名 30 岁出头的男性霹雳舞舞者,在广泛的头部旋转练习 5 年后,头部出现明显的隆起。MRI 显示明显的帽状腱膜下纤维化和皮下组织增厚,符合“锥形头征”。患者成功接受了手术肿瘤切除,实现了美容改善和症状缓解。组织学分析显示广泛的纤维化,无恶性肿瘤。术后随访显示患者满意度高,肿块明显缩小。本病例强调了识别霹雳舞舞者慢性头皮状况的重要性,并表明手术干预可能是一种有效的治疗方法。
