That is why its formation occurs independently and does not require additional outside intervention. The appearance of an abnormal course is associated with incomplete closure of the holes or cracks of the embryo sac - the embryological rudiments of the skin. Thus, the cause of the development of the epithelial coccygeal duct occurs in children with a frequency of 5 in 3000

Epithelial coccygeal ducts or dermatoepithelial sinuses are hollow channels with an epithelial liner that extend from the perineum and are usually located on the surface of the skin. These growths can be congenital or acquired, and can cause serious complications if they are not treated properly. In this article we will look at the principles
