| Abstrakt: | Congenital lip sinus is a rare entity with upper lip sinus being rarer than the lower lip sinus. It can be an isolated entity or associated with cleft lip, palate or Van der Woude syndrome. Syndromic association requires proper evaluation and aggressive surgical treatment. Preoperative delineation of the sinus tract with ultrasound sonography or MRI is mandatory. Simple excision is sufficient in cases of isolated sinuses. In this article, we report an infant with upper lip sinus managed successfully with simple excision and reviewed the literature. Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.
