title: [Skin symptoms of chronic inflammation of a tooth root apex].
abstract: Cutaneous manifestations of a periradicular inflammation are now uncommon. In most cases the periradicular infection results in the development of an apical granuloma. If there is proliferation of resting epithelial cells in this granuloma a cyst will develop, the so-called radicular cyst. A rare form of periradicular inflammation is the so-called chronisch granulierende Entzündung nach Partsch [Partsch's chronic granulomatous inflammation]. In this case the granulation tissue spreads through the bone and results in a cutaneous odontogenic sinus. We report on a female patient in whom complete healing was obtained by removal of the periradicular process and excision of the sinus tract.
