They usually present as bilateral and symmetric fistulas on either side of the midline of the vermilion of the lower lip. [2] Occasionally only a single pit is present that may be centrally located. [mjmsr.net]

They are observed in 88% of VWS, and in 64% they are the only manifestation of the syndrome. [11], [12] Lip pits may have varied presentation and may present as small, raised area (called a microform) with a nipple-like appearance. [13] The other clinical [amhsjournal.org]

• Swelling

  A 9-year-old male patient reported to us with a complaint of swellings on his lower lip. History revealed that the swellings were present since birth, was initially small and increased proportionally to the size of the lip. [ijdr.in]

  Case History A two hour born female was brought with chief complaints of deformity of lips, swelling neck and difficulty in breathing ( Figures 1 and 2 ). [omicsonline.org]

  On extraoral examination, there were two symmetrical, roughly oval swellings on either side of the midline of the lower lip with round depressions about one-half centimeter from the midline on the center of the swelling. [amhsjournal.org]

  An examination revealed swelling of the upper lip with a punctate opening in the midline of the upper lip, 3 mm below the base of the philtrum ( Fig. 1). [smj.org.sg]

  Recovery continues for several weeks as swelling goes down after the procedure. During the first week following surgery, your baby might behave differently as compared to before surgery. It is normal for a baby to be fussier than usual. [gillettechildrens.org]

• Inflammation

  The lip pits may require no treatment. [14] The reasons that make most of the patients desire their excision are minor cosmetic implications, the mucous secretions, and possible chronic, uncontrollable inflammations. [amhsjournal.org]

  There was evidence of surrounding chronic inflammation. Postoperative follow-up at five months revealed a small inconspicuous scar on the upper lip ( Fig. 5) with no recurrence of the lip sinus. [smj.org.sg]

• Asymptomatic

  Lip pits can present as asymptomatic irregularities of the lip or with recurrent discharge or infection. 2 Examination usually reveals a depression in the vermilion zone of the lip and opening into a blind sinus. [casereports.bmj.com]

  History revealed that these swellings were present since birth and were asymptomatic. On general examination, there were no contributory findings anywhere in the body. There was no evidence of cleft lip. [amhsjournal.org]
