The authors report a patient of a pilonidal sinus in a rare location-the lateral orbital region. The authors' patient was misdiagnosed with an epidermal cyst, and the subsequent incomplete excision of the sinus tract led a pilonidal sinus with a high morbidity resulting in the destruction of bone tissue in the lateral orbital wall. It was, therefore, crucial to accurately diagnose and treat before the infection progressed through the bone and caused osteomyelitis.en10.1097/SCS.0000000000002778info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBone destructionfacelateral orbital wallosteomyelitispilonidal sinusArticle275E461E46227391513Q2WOS:000379793500016Q4
