Abstract

A rare case of congenital midline fistula of the upper lip with acute infection in a 11 year-old-girl is presented. Only 14 cases have been reported in the Japanese literature. The characteristic clinical features were a very small pit of the midline upper lip and pus discharge from the fistula. The etiology and theories of fistula formation were also discussed.
