RECURRENT SUBCLITORAL ABSCESS TREATED BY MARSUPIALIZATION

Abstract

This is a report of a very rare case of recurrent subclitoral abscess. Its etiology and the best treatment of the disease is here in discussed. We, the same as Sur, believe that marsupialization is the most promising treatment. Recurrent periclitoral abscess has been described previously5. s ome of the authors believe that it is part of the pilonidal disease. The first pilonidal cyst in 7 the clitoral region was introduced by Palmer (1957).
Another case of pilonidal sinus of clitoris was repor-2 ted by Betson . All of the researchers are not in this opinion that the disease is necessarily a pilonidal sinus 1 3,and, sometimes, there is not any hair in the epithelium lining of the cyst. One case of recurrent subclitoral abscess treated by marsupialization is presented here.
