Abstract
- The most common cause of chronic draining sinus tract on the face and neck is the extension of chronic dental infection. The presence of an intermittently draining granulomatous lesion on the face or neck should alert clinicians to the necessity of routine dental examination including radiographic studies. Early correct diagnosis and appropriate dental treatment can pre-vent unnecessary and ineffective antibiotic therapy or surgical treatment. We report a case of a 22-year-old woman with a cutaneous sinus tract on submental region, associated with a periapical abscess of the left mandibular lateral incisor.
