Summary
Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tracts (OCSTs) are uncommon skin lesions from chronic dental infections. Misdiagnosis is frequent due to absent dental pain, delaying proper treatment and increasing patient morbidity.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Dermatology
- Radiology
Background:
- Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tracts (OCSTs) result from chronic dental infections extending to the skin.
- These lesions often lack typical intraoral dental symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis.
- Delayed diagnosis can result in unnecessary treatments and prolonged patient suffering.
