BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-008664 DESCRIPTION A 57-year-old man reported to the outpatient department with the chief compliant of deformed upper lip which was present since birth. He denied any complaints other than cosmetic ones. On examination, an extra fold of redundant tissue was present on the inner surface of the upper lip. The overlying mucosal tissue appeared intact and smooth with no palpable masses or surface changes (as seen in figure 1). There were no other associated congenital abnormalities. Thus, provisional diagnosis of congenital bilateral upper double lip was made. Double lip may develop in association with Ascher’s syndrome which consists of the triad of blepharochalasis, non-toxic thyroid enlargement and double lip. 2 The association of congenital double lip with other abnormalities such as bifid uvula and cleft palate has also been reported. Another uncommon acquired condition is cheilitis glandularis, an inflammatory hyperplasia with varying degrees of inflammation of the lower labial salivary glands. In conclusion, treatment of congenital double lip is indicated when the excess tissue interferes with mastication and speech or is of aesthetic concern to the patient.

INTRODUCTION From an epidemiological point of view, non-syndromic orofacial clefts are the most common oral congenital deformities worldwide. OBJECTIVE Family histories were traced and socioeconomic risk factors were identified for non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate. MATERIAL AND METHODS A case-control study was carried out with 208 cases of non-syndromic cleft lip with or...

Susceptibility to DNA Damage as a Molecular Mechanism for Non-Syndromic Cleft Lip and Palate
Non-syndromic cleft lip/palate (NSCL/P) is a complex, frequent congenital malformation, determined by the interplay between genetic and environmental factors during embryonic development. Previous findings have appointed an aetiological overlap between NSCL/P and cancer, and alterations in similar biological pathways may underpin both conditions. Here, using a combination of transcriptomic prof...

Clefts of the lip and/or palate (CL/P) are among the most common birth defects worldwide. The majority are non-syndromic where CL/P occurs in isolation of other phenotypes. Where one or more additional features are involved, clefts are referred to as syndromic. Collectively CL/P has a major clinical impact requiring surgical, dental, orthodontic, speech, hearing and psychological treatments or ...
