Odontogenic Cutaneous Fistula Report of two cases
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Odontogenic cutaneous fstula or sinus is an uncommon, but well documented condition, which is often initially misdiagnosed as a sole cutaneous lesion and inappropriately treated. Te misdiagnosis as a skin infection often results in inappropriate management. We here present two cases of odontogenic cutaneous fstula that were seen after being treated unnecessarily with antibiotics.
