Published: September 2021

Lower lip pits are infrequent, affecting fewer than 1 in 75 000 individuals. While more frequently associated with inherited syndromes, isolated lower lip pits may present sporadically as a solitary congenital anomaly. We describe an otherwise healthy 9-day-old infant who presented with a congenital lower lip lesion with unremarkable family history and testing. The appropriate workup for a solitary congenital lip nodule, differential diagnosis, and management of lip pits is described.
