“…It can develop spontaneously or secondary to tissue damage occurring after vulval trauma, infection, or foreign body, or can be iatrogenic [1]. The pilonidal disease of the female genital tract causing the formation of the vulval sinus is very rare and disease involving the vulva extremely uncommon with only five cases described in the literature [4][5][6][7][8]. Tubercular labial sinus is a rare but important cause in developing countries.…”

We report an unusual case of the vulval sinus with persistent seroanguinous discharge in a 59-year-old postmenopausal woman. Examination revealed a 9-cm isolated sinus tract in the right labiocrural fold. This sinus tract was excised under anesthesia. Histological analysis showed skin with a deep dermal sinus tract showing edematous and heavily inflamed granulation tissue. There was no evidence of malignancy or dysplasia. Hidradenitis was ruled out on histology. This case report summarizes the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment involving complete excision of the vulval sinus to reduce long-term morbidity and consequences of this rare entity.

A 63-year-old woman presented with a 4-week history of vulval bleeding. On examination, an 8 mm fleshy irregular vascular lesion was present on the vulva in the periclitoreal area. This vulval lesion was treated by surgical excision. Histological analysis showed irregular pieces of skin partly covered by hyperplastic squamous epithelium. There were areas of fistulous-like endophytic proliferations lined by hyperplastic squamous epithelial cells. The intervening stroma showed granulation tissue with severe active chronic inflammation. At least five hair follicle shafts surrounded by foreign body type giant cells were also identified within the inflamed area. There was no evidence of dysplasia or malignancy. This chronically inflamed fistulous tract together with hair shafts within the wall of the tract were diagnostic of a pilonidal sinus of the vulva. This case report summarises the importance of diagnosing pilonidal sinus at an unusual location.

Periclitoral masses are uncommon disorders in gynecology often leading to pain and distress. With the popularity of female genital hair grooming and depilation, the vulva has been exposed to new insults including contact dermatitis and folliculitis. The unique anatomy of the protective covering of the clitoral hood may subject hair fragments to trapping, inflammation, irritation, and in some cases abscess formation.
