Beyond the tooth: Unraveling an odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tracts are uncommon and often misdiagnosed as dermatological conditions due to the lack of associated dental symptoms, leading to delay treatment and further complications. The following demonstrates a case of a young boy who was seeing multiple physicians for the past 10 months until he was diagnosed and treated accurately. This case highlights the importance of imaging modalities such as computed tomography to confirm suspected odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract and delineate the sinus tract as well.
