This article outlines a systematic workflow for the clinical management of lip swellings, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. The process involves a thorough clinical examination and necessary diagnostic investigations such as imaging and biopsy, which will guide treatment decisions. Depending on the findings, treatment may range from conservative management to surgical excision. Further, we have covered a range of potential conditions including benign lesions such as fibroma, hemangioma, and pyogenic granuloma, as well as malignant neoplasms such as mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. This comprehensive approach will ensure that both common and serious causes of lip swellings are addressed in clinical practice.
