Description
An eyebrow cyst that lingered 29 years is reported by Yanpeng Zhu and coauthors in their 2026 case report. Pilonidal sinus usually appears near the tailbone; facial cases number only about 10 worldwide, all on the cheek, and none had formed a bridging scar before.
The 56-year-old man's trouble began with a school injury, leaving swelling and drainage beside his right eyebrow plus a scar band toward the nose that tugged at his vision. Staged surgery, tissue expansion, and scar revision, followed by three injection sessions, cleared the lesion. Tissue study confirmed chronic pilonidal sinus. At one year, appearance and visual field had improved without recurrence.
