Five patients with a pilonidal sinus of the axilla--thought to be the 9th to 13th described in the literature--are reported. All patients were nonhirsute, healthy women aged 17 to 30 years. One or two hairs were seen macroscopically and histologically in 3 of 5 patients, and 1 hair was seen macroscopically in the remaining 2 patients. Friction (abduction-adduction) or suction, as well as assorted factors such as shaving, minor infection, and maceration, seemed to be the most probable cause of pilonidal sinus of the axilla. Complete resection, including the openings of 1 or 2 sinuses, is the only suitable treatment for axillary suppuration.
报告了5例腋窝藏毛窦患者——据信是文献中第9至13例报道的病例。所有患者均为非多毛的健康女性，年龄在17至30岁之间。5例患者中有3例在肉眼和组织学检查中可见1至2根毛发，其余2例患者肉眼可见1根毛发。摩擦（外展 - 内收）或吸引，以及诸如剃须、轻度感染和浸渍等各种因素，似乎是腋窝藏毛窦最可能的病因。完全切除，包括1个或2个窦道开口，是治疗腋窝化脓的唯一合适方法。
