ABSTRACT

The pilonidal cyst is an acquired condition presented as a cystic lesion in the sacrococcygeal region. Results from one or several hair follicles included in the skin surrounded by squamous cells. The most frequent presentation is the acute abscess of the cyst as a painful and fluctuant mass. The abscess drainage is the standard treatment; the use of antibiotics is reserved for severe cases. The surgical treatment is indicated in recurrent disease.
