title: Coccygeal Pad With an Anterior Flexed Coccyx: A Case Report.
abstract: Objective:A coccygeal pad is a nodular lesion in the sacrococcygeal area. It is a rare disease characterized by corneal thickening, the proliferation of collagen bundles, and an anterior flexed coccyx. In the English literature, 42 patients have been reported.Methods:We present a young male case of a typical coccygeal pad with an anterior flexed coccyx.Results:After resection of the nodule and coccygectomy, there has been no recurrence during the 6-month postoperative follow-up.Conclusions:Plastic surgeons should recognize this as a disease to be differentiated from gluteal skin tumors.
