AMORIM, Gustavo Moreira et al. Odontogenic Cutaneous Fistula: A Diagnosis to be Remembered by the Dermatologist. Rev Soc Port Dermatol Venereol [online]. 2020, vol.78, n.3, pp.50-52.  Epub Sep 01, 2021. ISSN 2182-2395.  https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.78.3.1182.

Odontogenic cutaneous fistulas occur mostly on the mandibula but we report a case due to a periapical infection of a maxillar teeth with a less frequent location: a 32 years-old female patient with an erythematous nodular lesion in the nasogenian sulcus for about 1 year that recurred after surgery. Examination of the oral cavity showed darkening of the upper arch canine tooth, ipsilateral to the skin lesion and imaging examination confirmed a periapical infection responsible for the extra-oral cutaneous fistula.

Keywords : Cutaneous Fistula/diagnosis; Dental Fistula.
