  Fig. 1 Erythematous nodule on the left side of the neck (A). Histopathologic findings showed upper dermal edema with lymphocytes and neutrophils infiltration in the mid to deep dermis, hematoxylineosin (H&E) ×20 (B), H&E, ×400 (C). Computed tomography scan reavled fuzzy enhancing tubular structures (4 cm) from the left submandibular gland to the anterior aspect of the plastysma muscle (*), consistent with fistula and inflamation (D~F).
