Abstract / Excerpt:

Dear Editor:

In clinical dermatology, abscesses are generally caused by secondary impetiginization of a previous furuncle or a ruptured epidermal cyst. We encountered a rare case of cutaneous abscess in the maxillo-mandibular region, complicated by bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
