Background: Verneuil’s disease is a rare suppurative pathology of apocrine glands and pilosebaceous system of the inguinal-pelvis and perianal region with a multifactorial aetiology. The disease produces skin fistulas, draining a serum-purulent material on the skin, and finally with spontaneous healing. Verneuil’s disease can be complicated by recurrence, and unfortunately, by squamous carcinoma. We have found in literature, just 2 cases of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, complicated by Verrucous Carcinoma. Main Observation: we describe a patient F, 34-year-old, comes to our observation at 4th gestational month, with suppurative sinus pilonidalis diagnosis and with the absolute indication of the gynaecologist to the abortion. We decided to continue the pregnancy. The patient gives birth with C. to 9 months; the new-born baby was perfectly healthy and after the maternal milk analysis, the baby also nursed for about 2 months. Finally, we decided to perform a wide excision biopsy and after a controversial histology (first Warty Carcinoma, then after a “second view” Suppurative Hidradenitis), we started a series of medical treatments, including biological therapy with Infliximab, but unfortunately with fleeting results. The patient did not answer substantially. Therefore, the last chance appears a combined demolitive and plastic surgical treatment. The histology described a Verrucous squamous cell carcinoma maximum diameter of 38 x 26 cm, with lateral deep margins free of neoplastic involvement. Conclusion: This very advanced clinical behaviour of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa can present in pregnancy, therefore, motivating the interruption of the same one. Our experience contributes to underlining the possibility to bring to term the pregnancy. This case report shows how the hormonal activity can anyway influence the development of the hidradenitis and an interesting hypothesis could consider the hormonal activity of the pregnancy and the HPV promoting gene regulation (RB) from inflammatory pathology to neoplastic pathology in VC like a model to study.
