title: Chronic dental fistule on the nose.
abstract: A case of chronic dental draining sinus on the dorsum of the nose is reported. The skin lesion, clinically simulating basal cell epithelioma, healed promptly after extraction and eradication of the periapical abscess of the right upper canine. The importance of considering this condition is emphasized in cases of chronic facial granulomatous or ulcerative lesions.
