Purpose: A multitude of developmental anomalies has been reported in the head and neck, especially on the face; however, cases of upper lip sinuses and fistulas have hardly been reported.
Method: A 10-year-old girl presented with a recurrently discharging upper lip sinus. After adequate presurgical workup, excision of the lesion resulted in a clinical cure.
Result: Literature review suggests a number of theories for the origin of the upper lip sinus; however, none have proven to be conclusive.
Conclusion: Upper lip sinus formations are rare developmental events, and the pathogenesis of these lesions still needs further evaluation.

High-speed walking is fundamental for humanoid robots to quickly reach the work site in emergency scenarios. According to biological studies, the coordinated motion of the arms and waist can significantly enhance walking speed and stability in humans. However, existing humanoid robot walking control frameworks predominantly focus on leg control, often overlooking the utilization of upper body joints.
