Pilonidal Lesions in Infants

ANTHONY SHAW M.D.1

1 Chief, Pediatric Surgical Division, Departments of Surgery, Harlem Hospital Center St. Vincent's Hospital Center New York, N. Y.

I take issue with Dr. Lewin's article, Pilonidal Cyst in Infancy, Pediatrics, 35:795, on several counts. First of all and most important, the evidence on which he claims to be making a historical first case report is very shaky indeed. I do not believe that "strongly suggestive" clinical and anatomic evidence is a sufficiently strong platform on which one should base such a claim. Dr. Lewin is basing his entire thesis on the fact that his patient developed an abscess (subsequently a sloughing cellulitis) in an area where congenital sinuses are occasionally observed.
