Pilonidal disease masquerading as possible anal fistula

Pilonidal disease masquerading as possible anal fistula
Complex pilonidal disease. The patient is prone. (A) is the original pilonidal sinus; (B) represents a secondary opening as a result of disease progression. Having multiple openings creates confusion in the diagnosis in this patient, in whom pilonidal disease masquerades as an anal fistula.
