Congenital cheek salivary fistula is a rare developmental anomaly with an abnormal connection between the parotid gland and the skin. An eight-year-old child presented with an opening on the right cheek, with intermittent saliva leakage aggravated during food intake and recurrent infections. Imaging studies had confirmed the diagnosis. Surgical excision of the fistulous tract successfully alleviated the patient's symptoms.

Hair follicle nevus is a rare benign follicular hamartoma that is characterized histologically by the proliferation of vellus hair follicles with peri-follicular fibrous thickening. Clinically, hair follicle nevus is most commonly reported as an asymptomatic papule or nodule on the head and neck. Here, we describe an unusual presentation of hair follicle nevus presenting as an atrophic plaque on the cheek of a male infant.

They typically result from dental infections but may also arise from salivary gland issues, tumors, or congenital anomalies. Accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent complications like infection, osteomyelitis, and discomfort.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the presence of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, particularly focusing on aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone, in hair follicles, which has not been reported before.
- Hair samples from 15 healthy volunteers were analyzed using advanced extraction and mass spectrometry techniques, allowing for the detection of various steroids without significant differences between genders.
- Notable findings included the detection of deoxycortisol, deoxycorticosterone, and 18-hydroxycorticosterone for the first time in hair, showing variability in levels for some steroids but stability in others across individuals.
