| Popis: | Odontogenic cutaneous sinuses are rare but well documented condition; however it is one of the most erroneously inferred lesions of face and neck region. The reason being its clinical presentation, as specific dental symptoms are absent in most of the cases, patients usually visit physicians first for the evaluation and treatment of such lesions. A delay by the attending clinician to correctly diagnose the primary dental etiology of the lesion has often resulted in multiple surgical excision and biopsies, long term antibiotic therapy, electrodessication and even radiation therapy, all of which have failed with recurrence of sinus tract. We report a case of cutaneous sinus tract related to a nonvital right lower premolar. The tooth had become nonvital because of trauma, resulting in pulpal necrosis and chronic periapical abscess that ultimately presented as cutaneous draining sinus tract along the right lower portion of the cheek. An appropriate treatment of this case resulted in successful resolution of the lesion, non-surgically. |
