A patient previously treated for a third molar infection 2.5 years ago presented with a persistent extraoral fistula, likely due to an untreated associated sinus tract. The intraoral communication had healed, with no evidence of an intraoral sinus tract. Complete surgical excision of the extraoral fistula along with the sinus tract was performed under local anesthesia. No intraoral communication was identified intraoperatively. Hemostasis was achieved, and the wound was closed in two layers using vicryl and silk sutures.
