title: Odontogenic cutaneous draining sinus.
abstract: The aim of the present article was to discuss an unusual case report of the odontogenic cutaneous sinus with emphasis on diagnosis and treatment. The causative factor in this case was diagnosed intraoperatively due to infected follicular space in absence of any sign and symptoms. Timely diagnosis of the case could have prevented significant morbidity due to mistreatment medically and surgically with eventual recurrence.
