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.
