We reviewed all cases of pilonidal sinus excision specimens from our surgical pathology records from 1990 to 2000 to determine the presence of glomus coccygeum. We found only two cases of glomus coccygeum, also known as coccygeal body. We describe the histology and immunohistochemical findings of two glomera coccygea incidentally discovered in pilonidal sinus excision specimens, and review the world's English literature.
