Examination showed multiple discharging sinuses with several centimeters of induration and tenderness. Under general anesthesia, complete excision of the sinuses with primary closure done. Histopathological examinations showed chronic foreign body granuloma surrounding hair shaft pictures consistent with PNS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Inframammary PNS has never been reported in the literature. As with intermammary PNS, in this case also it is associated with obesity and large breasts with tight brassieres. Diagnosis is usually clinical. In contrast to sacrococcygeal PNS, operation under general anesthesia is main treatment modality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pilonidal sinus of inframammary region is an extremely rare condition.
