“…6 We found an article on a sinus in the midline of the anterior thoracic wall associated with a sternal cleft. 7 However, it is thought to be different from our cases, in which there was no association with any sternal cleft. The described lesions were located on the midline of the sternum and ended at the body of the sternum, while our patients had lesions located at the peristernal region and ending at the fascia of the pectoralis major muscle.…”

sustained during follow-up in a group of seven patients followed for 10 weeks and a group of four patients followed for 1 year. 4,9 Our results confirm these latter findings by showing that consecutive courses of infliximab for treatment of HS provide initial improvement with variable results but show decreased efficacy over long-term treatment.

“…We conjecture that the authors who insisted that the fistula was a dermoid fistula may not A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t have kept the existence of the fourth branchial cleft remnant in mind because they were all dermatologists and may not have been familiar with branchial anomalies. The clinical characteristics of our case series were similar to those of the previously-reported cases (8)(9)(10)(11). However, our cases differed from a dermoid fistula with regard to the following points: 1) A dermoid fistula is usually situated on the midline of the body, and our case and the previously-reported cases were not situated on the midline.…”

“…Histopathological examination of the epithelial layer of the fistulas revealed that most cases had a stratified squamous epithelium (case 1-6) and four of them had an epidermal appendage such as a sebaceous gland, hair follicle or sweat gland (case 2-5) Four papers previously reported a very similar cutaneous fistula and all of them were published in dermatology journal (8)(9)(10)(11). Those reports concluded that the fistulas were derived from ectodermal origin and they were designated as a dermoid fistula.…”

“…Importantly, all of the reported cases of peristernal dermal sinuses have been Japanese, and a reported case of dermal sinus arising in the midline of the anterior thoracic was also Japanese. 5 Therefore, genetic factors associated with Japanese may be involved in the pathogenesis of dermal sinuses arising on the chest.…”
