Abstract
We report an unusual case of a bilateral, symmetric upper lip deformity. The submucosal tissue of the resected redundant portion of the lip was occupied by a mass that was diagnosed histopathologically as lipoblastomatosis. Differential diagnoses of lesions with symmetric upper lip deformity and current controversy regarding the surgical treatment are discussed here.
