Summary

Umbilical pilonidal sinus (UPS) is a rare disease of young, hirsute, dark men with deep navels and poor personal hygiene; however, it can be seen in females. UPS could easily be misdiagnosed and mistreated due to its rarity and lack of awareness in physicians. Diagnosis is easy to establish with physical examination and a detailed history. Treatment is generally depending on the severity of the disease, ranging from good personal hygiene to surgical excision of umbilical complex. The treatment of choice for chronic, intermittent cases is surgical removal of the affected portion; paying special attention to cosmetic appearance especially in female patients. In this report, we present two cases of UPS, one in a man and one in a woman with the explanation of its etiopathogenesis and surgical treatment.
