Abstract

We read with interest the recent paper by Awad et al in which a rare case of perineal nodular induration (PNI) is reported and the surgical technique employed to remove the benign pseudotumour is described.

The authors allude to the multiple names for perineal nodular induration (PNI) or biker’s nodule and highlight cycling as the most frequent cause due to repetitive perineal microtrauma. The differential diagnoses for PNI are discussed in Table 1, with seven distinct histopathological entities mentioned.
