Abstract
Pilonidal sinus is a chronic and commonly recurrent disorder that is usually seen in the natal cleft in the sacro-coccygeal area although very few cases involving the umbilicus, axilla or interdigital area have also been reported. Although not very rare the cases reported are few and there is no consensus on management. We report 2 cases of umbilical pilonidal sinus in a tertiary care Hospital treated with excision of tract with umbilectomy.
