Hidradenitis suppurativa, or Verneuil's disease, is somewhat common, especially in women, but it often unrecognized. Clinical manifestations include painful nodules, abscesses, sinus tracts, and ropelike hypertrophic scars in the apocrine gland-bearing areas. It is a chronic disease. Smoking and overweight are risk factors, but the cause is unknown: it is a disease of the follicular apparatus, neither infectious nor hormonal. Severe dramatic forms are rare. Quality of life is severely affected even in the mild forms. Treatment is both medical and surgical: wide-spectrum antibiotics and excisions tailored to the extent of involvement. Anti-TNFα drugs are effective, but their risk-benefit ratio is still in question. Laser treatment is under study.

Introduction and importance Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory and suppurative disease of the apocrine sweat glands. Its transformation into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is very rare. Case presentation We describe 3 cases of males aged 57, 58 and 55-years-old. The diagnoses were confirmed by pathology examination in all cases. Two of our patients underwent extended and complete surgery. The first two patients died during the year after the diagnosis was established, the third one is still alive with no recurrence after one year of surgery. Clinical discussion Hidradenitis suppurativa mostly concerns perianal location and it targets mainly male patients with a multifactorial development. Surgical treatment consists of large excision. The SCC is associated with a high mortality rate. Conclusion Hidradenitis suppurativa needs early diagnosis and effective surgery. The transformation into squamous cell carcinoma is rare and and its management is challenging. Extended and complete excision is required with rigorous postoperative follow-up.
