“…Similarly, Stout and Gorman (10) reported only 2 out of 134 cases (1.5%) of CS in the head and neck region occurred on the lower lip. Consistent with previous reports (4,10), our professional literature search indicated that CS of the lower lip remains rare with only 4 out of 42 cases (9.5%) reported in the identified articles on CS of the lips (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

Mixed tumour of the skin or chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare and mostly benign neoplasm of the sweat glands. Although CS is frequently located on varied parts of the head and neck region, the lower lip is a rarely reported site. The present report describes a case of CS of the lower lip in a 58-year-old male as an expository case to further emphasise the need for proper diagnosis, appropriate treatment and prognostic evaluation. The patient presented with a round, non-tender, slightly hard and mobile mass beneath the mucocutaneous junction of his left lateral side of the lower lip. Radiology revealed a mass measuring 11x11x7 mm 3 in size at a depth of ~2 mm. Furthermore, magnetic resonance T1-and T2-weighted images showed slightly low and high signal intensities, respectively. A provisional diagnosis of benign tumour of the lower lip was made, and surgical excision biopsy taken under local anaesthesia, while considering the patient's cosmetic appearance. Histopathology demonstrated features akin to apocrine gland, chondroid and myxoid stroma consistent with the diagnosis of benign CS. No evidence of recurrence or satellites were recorded after a follow-up of nearly 2 years. Although rare, a high index of suspicion for CS among other cutaneous adnexal tumours of the lower lip is necessary. In addition, interprofessional collaboration in the management of such oral tumours could enhance patient satisfaction amid prevailing intraoral and aesthetic concerns.

“…CS can originate either from apocrine or eccrine sweat glands ( 6 , 7 ) or result from idiopathic proliferation of abnormally located embryonic tissue ( 33 ). As observed in our patient medical history, it is also suggested that trauma could be a predisposing factor to the development of CS ( 8 , 33 ).…”

“…Clinical differential diagnosis is extensive and includes a spectrum of oral lesions such as odontogenic and non odontogenic cysts and minor salivary gland tumors [10][11][12][13] . These lesions are often detected by the patient or during a routine dental exam, specially once located on the lips.…”

Introduction: Dermoid cyst (DC) is a slow-growing benign developmental cysts that arises from ectodermal tissue and can occur anywhere in the body, with only 34% occurring in the head and neck region, of which 6.5% are located in the mouth floor and rarely in the upper lip. It usually presents as painless, slow-growing lesion with doughy consistency and is often soft and well encapsulated - generally observed on the second to third decade of life. Objective: The objective of this article is to report a case of DC, focusing on its clinical and histopathological characteristics, and to discuss possible clinical presentations to assist in the diagnosis of this rare lesion in the oral cavity. Case Report: A 4-year-old female was referred for evaluation of an asymptomatic swelling in the left upper lip mucosa region lasting 1 year. Extraoral clinical examination showed no alterations. Intraoral clinical examination revealed the presence of a single painless well-defined nodular, sessile, non-tender swelling covered by normal oral mucosa, and located in the upper labial mucosa. An excisional biopsy was performed, and microscopic examination revealed a cystic cavity covered by orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium with hair follicles and sebaceous glands found within the fibrous wall. Patient recovery was uneventful and there are no signs of local recurrence in a two-year clinical follow-up. Conclusion: DC can occur anywhere in the body, but once in the oral cavity, it is rarely observed in the upper lip.
