Congenital midline upper lip sinus is a rare condition, with fewer than 40 cases previously reported. This case report details an elderly patient, highlighting the need for further research into the etiology of this rare congenital anomaly.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Congenital midline upper lip sinus is an extremely rare developmental anomaly.
  • Fewer than 40 cases have been documented in existing literature.
  • The etiology of this condition remains largely unknown.

Observation:

  • This report presents a case of congenital midline upper lip sinus in an elderly individual.
  • The anomaly was identified and managed in an adult patient.
  • Clinical presentation and diagnostic findings are detailed.

Findings:

  • Successful and straightforward treatment modalities exist for congenital midline upper lip sinus.
  • The underlying cause and developmental pathway of this anomaly require further investigation.
