Abstract: | Pilonidal Sinus affects different regions of the body, gluteal cleft being the most common. This condition affecting the penis is extremely rare with only a few case reports around the world. It is prone for complications like infection, actinomycosis, abscess formation, erectile dysfunction and phimosis amongst others. We present a case of Pilonidal sinus of the penis where a pre-operative diagnosis was made and appropriate treatment in the form of circumcision prevented complications. |
