INTRODUCTION: Malignant degeneration of pilonidal sinus is a rare complication observed mainly in recurrent chronic cases of the disease, associated to a very bad prognosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We have reviewed 367 patients with simple and complicated pilonidal cysts. We found 3 cases (0.81%) of epidermoid carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Pilonidal sinus epidermoid carcinoma is an infrequent disease predicting for very poor outcome.
