Cureus. 2023 Nov 6;15(11):e48355. doi: 10.7759/cureus.48355. eCollection 2023 Nov.

Abstract

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.
