    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Dermatology
    • Head and neck oncology

    Background:

    • Cheilitis glandularis is a rare chronic inflammatory condition of the salivary glands.
    • It predominantly affects the lower lip, with potential malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma.
    • Understanding its varied presentations is crucial for early diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a unique case of cheilitis glandularis.
    • The condition was observed affecting the upper lip, a site rarely documented for this disorder.
    • Clinical and pathological features of this specific presentation are detailed.

    Findings:

    • The case confirms cheilitis glandularis can manifest on the upper lip.
    • This finding expands the known anatomical distribution of the disorder.
    • The histological findings are consistent with cheilitis glandularis, despite the atypical location.

    Implications:

    • This case broadens the differential diagnosis for upper lip lesions.
    • It underscores the importance of considering cheilitis glandularis in upper lip abnormalities.
    • Further research may explore potential etiological factors or variations in upper lip involvement.
