Description
Summary:	Hidradenitis suppurativa is a disease with underestimated incidence, consequences and treatment difficulty. Regarded as a minor illness, for the patient it is disabling physically and socially, and for the doctor it is a challenge in choosing the appropriate treatment. We present the case of a 28-year-old man who presented with an advanced and persistent form of hidradenitis treated in a general surgery department. Solving the case combined conservative and surgical treatment (wide excisions, plasties with fasciocutaneous superior gluteal artery perforator flap, thoracodorsal artery perforator flap, free anterolateral thigh flap). This case illustrates the problems raised by a seemingly trivial disease. KEY WORDS: Fasciocutaneous Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap, Follicular Occlusion, Free Anterolateral Thigh Flap, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Skin Ulcer, Skin Fold, Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Flap.
