Malignant degeneration of a pilonidal cyst is rare, with incidence estimated at 0.1%. The most common type is squamous cell carcinoma and the treatment of choice remains en block resection of the lesion. Case Report: We present the case of a patient with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma arising in a pilonidal cyst, due to misdiagnosis of the disease during his first treatment. Conclusions: Detailed histological examination of all excised pilonidal cyst lesions is essential and any histological suspicion should prompt a wider excision. |
