ABSTRACT
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, relapsing suppurative disease of the apocrine sweat glands that principally affects the axillary and anogenital regions. The etiology of this disorder remains unknown. As conservative treatment usually does not prevent recurrence, surgical treatment is the method of choice, particularly for advanced case. We report a 25-year-old male patient who presented with a 7-year history of abscesses with foul-smelling discharge from his axilla. After failed medical therapy, he was referred for surgery. We performed a wide excision of the axilla with a split thickness skin graft after 1 week. The patient has been doing well, and there has been no relapse for about ayear after the operation.
