Pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a common inflammatory condition that predominantly affects males. It typically occurs beneath the skin of the sacrococcygeal region. We present a rare case of a 40-year-old patient with a painless, suppurating swelling on the cheek for two days, accompanied by itching. Under local anesthesia, incision and drainage were performed, as the patient declined excision. Medical advice was provided, and the patient was encouraged to follow up. The cheek is an extremely rare location for a PNS. Diagnosis can be challenging due to its unusual presentation. However, special care should be taken during surgical excision, as preserving the cosmetic appearance is a priority.
藏毛窦(PNS)是一种常见的炎症性疾病,主要影响男性。它通常发生在骶尾部的皮下。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名40岁患者脸颊出现无痛性、化脓性肿胀两天,伴有瘙痒。由于患者拒绝切除,在局部麻醉下进行了切开引流。提供了医疗建议,并鼓励患者进行随访。脸颊是PNS极为罕见的发病部位。由于其不寻常的表现,诊断可能具有挑战性。然而,手术切除时应特别小心,因为保持美观是首要任务。
