Congenital upper lip sinus (CULS) is an extremely rare anomaly. The aim of the study is to present a new case and compile the present knowledge of CULS to help foster a deeper understanding of this disease. A 9-year-old girl with a midline CULS, a prolonged maxillary labial frenulum, and a palatal epulis is presented. Thirty-nine papers met the eligibility criteria and 45 cases were included in the systematic review. CULS shows typical clinical and pathologic characteristics. It tends to occur at the midline region horizontally (n=35; 78%) and the upper part of the white lip (n=23; 51%) vertically. No ethnic predilection is found, but it tends to show a female predilection (n=28; 62%). Twenty-six cases (58%) are symptomatic. Thirteen cases (29%) are accompanied by other maxillofacial defects. In all cases, the sinus was lined with stratified squamous epithelium. The etiology remains unknown but 3 theories have been put forward: the fusion theory, the merging theory, and the invagination theory. The authors believe that CULS shows homogeneity with cleft lip to some extent and maybe a microform of it. Primary treatment is surgical excision and the prognosis is favorable, with no complications or recurrence.

Congenital midline upper lip fistula is a very rare congenital anomaly that can be accompanied by other congenital abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate, and may appear as a symptom of a syndrome such as Pirre-Robin' s syndrome. It has been reported that this disease can be transmitted and presents signs of infection such as swelling of the upper lip, abscess formation, and pus discharge from the fistula. However, a case of infection in infancy has never been reported before. Here, we report a case of a six-month-old baby with an infected congenital midline upper lip fistula. The patient visited our hospital with swelling of the upper lip and suckling disorder. With the midline upper lip fistula infected, signs of infection such as swelling of the upper lip, pus discharge from the fistula, and domeshaped swelling of the oral vestibule of the maxillary anterior tooth were observed. Due to these acute symptoms, the patient had a suckling disorder. After anti-inflammatory treatment, we resected the lip fistula under general anesthesia. Congenital midline upper lip fistula is likely to cause infection in infancy, leading to a suckling disorder.Early examination and treatment for a congenital midline upper lip fistula is suggested.
