Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
Endoscopic pilonidal treatment, which uses a small camera to guide the surgeon in removing hair, is a newer method of treatment that has minimal pain and quick healing compared to surgery. A literature review of 497 patients found that the average endoscopic operation time was 34.7 minutes, and the average healing time was 32.9 days.
Chronic wounds may take years to heal or, in some cases, may never heal, causing significant physical and emotional stress for patients and placing a financial burden on healthcare systems. [7] Acute and chronic wounds are part of a spectrum, with chronic wounds requiring prolonged and complex care compared to acute wounds.

Gardner syndrome consists of adenomatous polyps of the gastrointestinal tract, Gardner fibromas, desmoid tumors, osteomas, epidermoid cysts, lipomas, dental abnormalities, and periampullary carcinomas. The incidence of the syndrome is 1:14,025 with an equal sex distribution.
Chondroid lipoma is an uncommon soft tissue fatty tumor that can develop in deeper or superficial tissues. It often manifests as a painless mass. [3] The subcutis, superficial muscular fascia, or skeletal muscles of the limbs and limb girdles, trunk, head, and neck are where the majority of lesions are located. [4]
Spindle cell lipoma is most frequently located in the upper back, shoulder, or posterior neck subcutaneous layer. [3] Nonetheless, reports of it occurring in the mediastinum, hypopharynx, larynx, anterior neck, suprasellar region, esophagus, nasal vestibule, tongue, floor of mouth, vallecula, parotid gland, and breast have been made.
