Abstract
Pilonidal disease is considered to be an acquired condition caused by hair invading the skin. Though it can affect many parts of body, such as hands, umbilicus, axillae and external genitalia, but most commonly it occurs in the gluteal cleft or sacrococcygeal region in the midline. Here we report a case of pilonidal sinus presenting off the midline in gluteal region.
Keywords: Pilonidal disease, incision and drainage, cleft lift, limberg flap, karydakis flap.
