Abstract
Congenital sinuses of the upper lip are cleft lip microforms that are common in the lower lip and accompany cleft lips. In western populations, the prevalence of lower lip vermilion is 0.001%, and upper lip sinuses are rarer than lower lip vermilion. 1 Herein, we present a case of an upper lip abscess secondary to an infected congenital fistula.
